I use code folding in other editors when editing HTML. For example, I'll fold
up a complex table so I can copy the whole thing easily.

I imagine it would be useful for XML too. As for Java, I might find it useful,
or maybe if the code is too complex it means I should refactor the code, not
hide it :)
