I still think their point about search and replace still stand though. I make most my edits with regex in neovim nowadays and I feel this is the superior paradigm: You don't even need to get to some specific location in order to edit it. I also almost only use search to move around the file and I can even reuse the searches for substitutions. It makes most vim motions and commands almost useless for me nowadays.

I also feel like macros are a more clunky and error prone way to do what substitutions can do. Almost never use them.

Yeah, macros are definitely helpful at times, but not as much as one might think.

I think the same goes for multi-cursor, though.
