I don't know how much faster navigating a buffer can be than doing it in emacs or vim, both of which can switch buffers with the press of a single key and do fuzzy-matching of buffer/file names with a keystroke or two. They can also navigate by moving or clicking around tree-structured directory trees, through menus, and many other ways.
Again, it would be nice if people offered specifics when they described something another editor could do that emacs or vim allegedly couldn't. How exactly do you navigate a buffer in Sublime that's allegedly "much quicker"? Can you give an example (including exactly which keys you press and exactly what it does in response)? Or can you at least show a video demonstrating this navigation?
As for multiple cursors, both vim and emacs have had them for years.[1][2][3][4][5]
Cmd-t to be prompted with a list of buffers in the most recently visited order. It has a filter too. Sometimes I just look at the nav buffer on the left. Kind of depends.
What's the fuzzy match in Emacs? C-x b?
Why don't multiple cursors ship with Emacs? I'll give it a try.
In emacs, I use helm[1][2] and BufferSelection (aka "bs")[3] to do the same thing, only helm is much more powerful and does a ton more than just that. In vim, I use MRU.[4]
But neither emacs or vim are limited to buffer selection using this relatively primitive method (which I do like and use myself). You can select buffers using an almost overwhelming number of methods and plugins.
You can filter, use regular expressions, use timing, use fuzzy matching, by buffer contents, color buffers in buffer lists using various criteria, etc. Here are some options for emacs: [5][6]
Both vim and emacs can bind pretty much anything to any key, so you can use Cmd-t for any of those (or a function key, if you preferred something that requires only a single keypress) or virtually any other keystroke.
