we also have the ‘s’ (surrounding) variants:
cs((change surrounding bracket )
Example
(alpha beta gama)
cs([
[alpha beta gama]
sandeshsoni
emoragaf
when i use
cs([
it adds spaces around the inner contents and the square brackets
e.g
(foo) -> [ foo ]
Is this expected?, is there any option to disable those spaces?

Does Spacemacs not help when defining modules and functions etc?
For example, if I type def and then hit tab in Vim it will set things up for me like:
def name do
end
Is there anyway to get Spacemacs to do this?
EDIT: Looks like you have to type to whole first line and it will add the end for you…
EDIT2: Another question:
How do you change the spacing of a line? For example, in MacVim I can go on to a line and hit cmd and either the [ or ] to move the line either 2 spaces to the left or right.
Answer: looks like you have to be in insert mode and use CTRL T or CTRL D. Alternatively, you can use visual (V) with < or >.

Is there an easy way to comment/uncomment lines?
It seems you have to go in visual mode, highlight the lines you want, then insert your comment and press escape.
CTRL V highlight lines SHIFT I type in your comment and then hit ESC.
Also just found something really annoying - I can’t get a hash # key with ALT 3 
Btw on MacVim you just highlight the lines you want to comment and hit CMD / (it works out the most appropriate comment for you).

Awesome! Thanks @ridget!
So SPACE c l will comment out a line 
Any ideas on how best to get ALT 3 give me the # key? There are some old posts from 2010 on the web, not sure if a better way has emerged yet?
_Edit: just add this guide to the Wiki too http://spacemacs.org/doc/VIMUSERS.html_

Unless you’re particularly interested in keeping it for selecting window #3, I’d just rebind it in your config under user-config.
Use SPC f e d to get there and SPC f e R to reload your config immediately
This is a good little sample of how you can set up your keys for evil-mode with the default evil-maps, hope this all helps.

All of those combinations work with the ‘d’ (delete) command too. So diw would be delete within word etc.
You can also type the literal parens or curly braces rather than using ‘b’ and ‘B’, so di{ and di( work and do what you’d expect.
there’s also the t motion, where dtw would be Delete To Word, and so forth.
