What's really unfortunate, though, is that Vim has some killer features
dealing with {...} blocks (on account of its C heritage and the plain
ubiqity of such blocks.

For example, you can delete, change, indent, or do whatever you like to the
contents of {...} (or (...), [...], etc.) in an instant, no matter where the
cursor is in the block.

Obviously, this functionality does not apply to do...end blocks.  Despite
this loss, I still use do...end because it seems more fitting for Ruby.

Sigh...
