It is more limited, yes. It is only useful in rather trivial cases. For everything else, there’s macros. Macros are unarguably far more powerful and useful than multiple cursors. Visual block mode is constrained by absolute cursor position. Multiple cursors is constrained by relative cursor position. Macros have no constraints whatsoever, and can even be recursive.
