Hi throwaway, ask your mouse bound colleagues to rename the file they're editing, then do it faster in Vim ;) I'm just kidding, hopefully you were sweating a little though.
I'm a Vim power user as much as anyone, and multiple cursors replace 80% of complex editing tasks in Vim (and are way nicer to work with over macros, because you get instant feedback), and a good IDE replaces the next 15% of what I use Vim for. Vim is a text editor, not a code editor, and I mostly work with code.
For the other 5% of what I want to do, I don't really miss it. Like using q: (meaning q-colon). A critical shortcut to use in Vim, if you don't know it and q/ you probably shouldn't be using Vim, but I don't really miss it. In fact pressing up/down arrows in VSCode's search box and command box do the same thing, now that I think about it.
