> Other editors and IDEs have macro functionality, but without the composable structural editing commands in vim (these are also in emacs) you don't quite have the same kind of power.

That's the other way around. Modern IDEs don't work on text like vim does, they understand the language. Using e.g. JetBrains IDEs you can do refactoring across an entire code base in a few clicks. Something you can't possibly do because vim (unless you use plugins) doesn't understand the semantics or even the syntax of the language, it's just text.
