You realize Vim will detect "sentence" based on exactly the same regex you can feed to awk? And "tabular data", dear me...

Yes, but vicut is also faster on benchmarks. And you won't need to write out a whole regex.

Also, I'd love to see what this "sentence finding" regex of yours would look like. I'm sure it's way better than just typing "vis"

Than awk? I very, very doubt your 0.001-3s findings.

Of course. Because you can use it everywhere, that's the whole point of learning regex, awk, or any other POSIX tool.
