I haven't been able to work on it for a while, but snippet magic is for 
this exact purpose, in vim.  Actually, the TextMate snippet definitions 
are all open source and available in a public repository so I converted 
them to YAML and now use them as the basis for snippet magic's default 
definitions.  Give it a try and see what you think.  Lots of people have 
sent mail or posted that they are using it, but it does still have some 
issues that need to be fixed.  (A better binding for ruby-vim would help 
a lot here...)  I'll try to get back to it soon, but if anyone wants to 
help out that would be great.
