I use smart-typing more when I do something with a selection, like  
select a word and type " to have it quoted, or to parenthesize  
selection. Same with parentheses. But when just writing a new line I  
just type over the characters, or press cmd-right arrow or something  
like that.

Of course there's also the EOL+LF commands from the source bundle.  
And the smart navigation commands with the impossible names that  
people have written lately.

I guess it really depends where you want to go after having just  
filled in. It's not necessarily the case that you want to move  
forward, and if you don't need to move forward you've saved yourself  
a keystroke.
