Bro, not every guy/girl is a regex master, multi-cursor is a much better UI/UX wysiwyg editor for everyday users.

Terminal editors are not WSIWYG applications. I don't think multi-cursor is the correct for a vim motion workflow but I'll admit my vim-fu is not as strong but I get by with the substitute command + grep good enough where I rarely feel the need for a GUI editor to use multi-cursor.

Since VS Code is already an inefficient way to move around a code base, I don't think we should take any lessons seriously outside of how useful the LSP protocol become for adoption.
