I swear I'm not trolling you, but you should check out Emacs + Evil mode. Most of the stuff you mention exists in Emacs, and Evil mode does a large chunk of what Vim does, an does it nicely (I'm a long-time Emacs user that has switched over to modal editing recently, and I haven't looked back). In particular, the multi-cursor mode is there : http://emacsrocks.com/e13.html http://emacsrocks.com/e13.html The stuff you call 'regions' is available for a bunch of languages with org-mode and org-babel (http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/babel/intro.html http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/babel/intro.html). I strongly encourage you to give it a try...
