- andybak 13y agoNever having used it, my initial feeling is similar. But I'm intrigued. I wonder if it's one of those "make you feel clever" features that doesn't really add to productivity due to the cognitive overhead needed to use it. I feel similar about some of my usage of regexes. I could have got there quicker with multiple simple search/replace operations but it wasn't as much fun.
- fit2rule 13y agoIts awkward? I disagree .. in fact I think its one of the most obvious 'duh' features for a modern editor that I'm quite surprised that its taken this long to come back into vogue .. I find it very useful for refactoring things, for example, and it just makes so much sense that a professional editor would give you this ability .. I can't see how its awkward at all.
