emmet-vim VS vim-surround

If you're going to be doing a lot of HTML, I really love the emmet-vim plugin. In this case, it fills in a little more than you may have wanted ( tags get an automatic href="" attribute), but you can, for instance, put in (li>b)*2 (that is, two tags, each with a inside an
