As a power Vim user, I can attest that multiple cursors do at least 75% of what I want to do in Vim, and multiple cursors are better and faster.

How about macros? I find i use them on at least a daily basis

What kinds of macros do you use?

You can build a macro on the fly to do some transformation for, say, a line of text, or even a function, and just repeat those manipulations. Usually they are crude combinations of vim inputs that work well enough for the situation at hand. Obviously it's not a replacement for IDE refactoring, but if you're using a vim emulator, you can do both

One transform I've done a few times is something where you have a list like this:

foo bar baz

And you need each line transformed into:

[Foo](https://example.com/foo.html)

Or something like that. Macros make short work of it.

Multiple cursors as well.

My multiple cursor-fu isn't good enough to know how to do that with words of different lengths. I should get more into it.

Macros and replaying my last command at a new location are the biggest thing I miss from vim. With regex replace groups you can generally get close enough to the desired productivity though.

(Personally, I find vim's multiselect cumbersome to use compared to sublime/vscode's.)
