Alright, but in more complicated cases you have to bust out macros, and they're just plain harder since they don't give visual feedback. Take an example like the following: def foo(): // do stuff def bar(): // do stuff Now I want to change my comment to say: // The function foo does stuff With multiple cursors, I select both def's, copy the following word, then go down and change the comment. Again, I'm not saying this can't be done in vim. But it's just plain easier to do with multiple cursors. And if you don't believe me, well, that's your right of course. But having used both, extensively, I'm telling you - please, at least give it a try. For many daily use cases, it's just so much easier. And I don't get anything out of selling you on multiple cursors except for the warm fuzzy feeling of maybe helping a fellow developer learn something that will help them.
