I'm not sure what to say beyond that i personally never felt the need for this. One of the IDEs i use does have several refactoring features, but the only one i ever used was the identifier rename and i probably used it around 2-3 times the last five years. It is a useful feature when you need it, but personally it wouldn't affect my choice of tools at all. After all i could just load an IDE that has it in the rare case i need it and then continue using the other tool i prefer, it isn't like modern computers can only run a single program at a time or anything :-P.
