#34this editor is exceptional at loading files which are gigabytes in size. nothing else I've ever used comes close.
Really? Ever tried vi in read-only mode?
It's quite good..

#36I remember ultra edit have that awesome column selection feature.
Sublime Text has column select. I always have to Google the incantation for it though.

#37All these "simple" text editors like to show how easy it is to use "multiple cursors" to edit several spots at once but... Even though sometimes it's needed it's really usually a terribly bad way to "refactor". Real refactoring is done across multiple files / config files and that's one area where a real IDE excels. And this comes from an Emacs fan (and I do sometimes use "multiple cursors" in Emacs). I really don't…
"real refactoring" isn't generally available to those of us using dynamic languages like Python (or at least I've never seen it done well) so multiple cursors is about the best we can get unfortunately.

#38I remember that the site used to have a message from the developer saying that if he got 30 sales he would go full time on the project. 30 sales were faxed through and he considered it a message from God.

It’s kind of weird that dynamic languages are known as being bad at refactoring, when Smalltak was doing advanced full system refactoring in the 1980s.
In the case of Python, I think the problem must be more syntactic and lacking an introspectable compile step than an issue with it being a dynamic language.

IDEs aside, I use this feature a lot to reformat badly indented SQL, to work on multiple "columns" in CSVs at once, to unroll loops... The possibilites are numerous.
