I can jump from beginning of block to end fine as well with either ed sharp
or my normal editor boxer. It's all what you know.
I find pearls $$$$$$ form of variables annoying and ugly and hard to read
but that's just me.

Well, I never found that a language has too much punctuation.
I prefer to use more strange variables like $! or $| than use more named
methods, because english is not my native language, and I use to forget the
exact syntax, while those chars are easier to remember and shorter to write.
And I also like to use braces because I can jump easier from the beginning
of the block to the end of the block, or to select that block.
