I have heard of people who use it and I know you can/could use vim modes or even embedded vim in at least two of the three big ones but I never used it. You might know all this but for the benefit of thise who don't: I guess you think in another way in an IDE: often you don't replace text (unless you are specifically updating comments or strings) - you rename variables. Example: the IDE knows about scoping rules etc so even if someone adds a local variable that shadows a field (BAD) the IDE will understand and only rename one of them when I do a rename. For me I find the IDE is more than worth it. Keybindings are a bit different but can be adjusted so I rarely need to use mouse or touchpad. And with Netbeans at least, but I suspect all big three, regex search replace is there if I need it.
