Look, I'm sorry to be that guy. But if you're struggling to bulk edit text in vim, you're definitely holding it wrong.
And emacs isn't even in the same category of tools, though I understand why one might think it is.
My retraction aside, I agree that the BEST software is the one you never really think about. Raycast is a great, recent example for me. Or perhaps Keyboard Maestro. It takes some fiddling to get set up, but then it just becomes a part of how I use my Mac. I only notice it when it breaks because my flow breaks.
