Marco talked in Build & Analyze about loving multiple cursors, which I believe emacs/vim don't support: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o5bPRhFHEz0 http://www.yo

  In VIM, you can edit multiple adjacent lines at the same time. You can place multiple cursors at random lines though and start editing. I think I saw a plugin for that once, though.

    Did you mean to say “can't” in your second sentence?

      Yes, sorry, wrote it in a hurry.

  Some Emacs extensions that implement Sublime Text features (and IMHO are better than their ST equivalents): mark-multiple[1] and CUA (builtin) for multiple cursors, helm[2] (formerly "anything") for file selection that allows quick previewing (C-z) and much much more, mini-map[3], and expand-region[4] (not sure if this is inspired by a ST feature but it is nice nonetheless).

  Something like that is also VERY easily accomplished with macros. The added benefit of macros is that you can then store that "edit" in case you need to replay it later.

  In osener's reply to your comment, mark-multiple.el is mentioned; here is a talk from the developer that demonstrates using the feature many times. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3Te_a-AGqM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3Te_a-AGqM
