Look at the gif carefully in this blog post, look at how multiple selections interacts with the clipboard when cutting and pasting, that's pretty amazing.
I never really thought there was much of a need for multiple cursors given the powerful refactoring tools in IntelliJ that work even with dynamically typed languages like JavaScript and Python. But given the clipboard interaction, I can see how this can be helpful.
I hope this also makes it into PyCharms and WebStorm. It's pretty awesome. Ever since we developed our IntelliJ IDEA plugin I've been using all these IntelliJ based editors even more than I've been using vim, which is a bit crazy, but the intelligence IntelliJ brings to the code you're writing is so incredibly useful and nothing else seems to be as good at understanding code. IntelliJ IDEA is an amazing editor.

- doorhammer 13y agoI've been using multiple selection points in Sublime for a bit now, and I have to say, I really dig it. A lot of the things I use it for can be accomplished in other ways, just as quickly (if not a little more quickly) in other editors with various types of functionality (I use VIM a lot) but what I like about multiple edit points is how powerful it can be as compared to how long it takes for it to become fairly intuitive. I work mostly in Visual Studio, and even with the default column select, I keep sublime open for some random formatting that I might do at any given point. It's really nice, and yeah, the clipboard support is great when you get the nuances figured out.
