> multiple cursors: is nothing compared to the confirm flag in `:%s/foo/bar/gc` Why is that? I'm a long term vim user, and I prefer multiple cursors to 's///gc' for many operations. Unfortunately the multiple-cursors implementation (via plugins) is not flawless, but it's quite handy for standard usage.

`gc` makes it much more flexible and faster if i know i have a small number of "exceptional" matches, especially early in a buffer since it offers you `y/n/a/q`. i also find it much faster than clicking potentially dozens of places in the code vs spewing `$ROUGH_REGEX` then mashing `yyyynnyyyna` to make edits in 70 locations.
