I know not everyone likes using vim but I thought those who do could share a good reason to get into it. For me its the repetition of the last change with the push of the dot key. Replace the current word with another and move the cursor to the next word you wish to replace. It makes the editor so versatile and feels very satisfying.

I use vimv to bulk rename files, either from lf file manager or straight from terminal. I really like using macros like @mekkagodzilla mentioned. or I replace words using sed format :%s/old_word/new_word/g combined with regex when needed. Relative line numbers to jump lines.
