IDE Gripes

Who thought "closing character type over" was a good idea? "type over closing quotes or brackets." If you are ever trying to nest brackets, which is a large portion of the time, then this feature makes the ide completely unusable.  In what world, should an intentional keystroke, to insert a parenthesis, ever be considered by your IDE to, by default, be the wrong move?  If I look at a closing parenthesis, and I decide hey, I think I need a second, and I explicitly set my cursor there and type in a parenthesis, why in the name of someone important, would I want the IDE to just automatically undo that.  "Yeah we.. uh we don't think you wanted it enough.
