I use multiple cursors all the time in Kakoune. Say I want to make a change that is very similar on 10 adjacent lines. I could write a regex or macro that does what I want, which will require me doing that with no visual feedback as I build it. Instead, I can put a cursor on each line and see if I’m getting it right as I’m making the changes. To me, it is an easier, more interactive way of doing the things you’d usually do with a macro in Vim.
