When I am getting friends into the terminal or I don't feel like copying my vim configs to a server I use micro now: https://micro-editor.github.io/ It uses ctrl+s ctrl+c type shortcuts and has mouse support, it really is slick.

It is slick but it desperately needs multi cursor support and sadly there has been no progress on that - https://github.com/zyedidia/micro/issues/5

Hisham's (of htop and gobolinux fame) dit editor seems to have gained such support 4 months ago.

Pressing ctrl-d a couple of times, seeing what will change, and typing something is most of the time easier and faster than thinking about a regex. At least that's how I feel

Emacs' evil-mode provides "live" search-and-replace. I can't imagine using the vanilla Vim behavior any more.

I've been trying out spacemacs for the past few weeks, and I really love this feature as well

Find and replace on steroids, meaning the flexibility of moving the cursors around in all instances of a find and making edits near the beginnings and ends of lines, for example.

Try doing this with regular expressions.
