Yesterday, I used vim motions to clean up some JMH benchmark log data to a CSV. It was genuinely so useful to be able to precisely delete and replace based on regexes. I'm sure I could have done with a graphical find and replace, but it was definitely faster via vim, especially after recording macros to automate the repetitive edits.

Yes. So much this. I've also always loved combining that with the macro functionality.

Except: Yesterday, I used an LLM (4o-mini-high) to do this kind of task instead and i might never go back.

I considered it, but there were hundreds of lines of data and I cba to verify all of them once they'd been through the LLM.
