The most awesome feature of SublimeText for me is multiple-cursor editing (Ctrl-D on a word). It only bothers me when I can't skip next occurrences easily (It's possible, but it's hard) It surprises me how users of other major editors don't use multiple cursors in their day to day editing tasks. It'd be awesome if subvim included the best solution vim community has to offer in this regard.

Just tried C-D on my rarely used Sublime Text, but I'm not sure if I'd personally prefer that over something like `:%s/one/two/gc`.
I rarely use global find and replace nowadays (just for complex regex replaces). I hold Ctrl-D until all occurrences are selected and type the replacement string (assuming occurrences are low in quantity, which they usually are in most cases).

I think vim does that automatically when you have a selection active and hit :

Vim has block editing mode (ctrl v - select, shift i, write text, esc) and the ability to record macros. With those two features you can do everything multiple cursors does and more!
an example:
class="item"
class="item"
class="item"
class="item"
class="item"
class="item odd"
class="item"
class="item odd"

I love vim but I don't think that block editing mode does what they want to do quite as well. Do you have an example where they excluded a line or lines from block editing? an example: class="item" class="item" class="item" class="item" st2 would be able to select the second and fourth line item and be able to change those to "item odd" without touching the first and the third ones. similarly they could do the same a…

and then '4@a' to run it on all the lines. In a simple case like this is it a bit more complicated than something like multiword editing but I've used this technique in cases that are far more complex then what from my understanding, multiline editing can handle.
For example I turned a spreadsheet of data into a complicated dhcpd.conf file using a couple macros.

Pressing Ctrl-K,D to skip an entry is quite cumbersome, especially if you missed an entry and there is no way of undoing the last selection.

That sounds like a lot more work...
Just give Ctrl-D a try for a couple of days.. It's a total different user experience compared to the traditional find/replace method.
