Valid complaints in this thread, but just a quick correction that Xcode has supported tabs since 2010 (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1184997/enabling-tabs-in...).

It has had tabs since forever. As for multi-cursor support, that only got really popular in the past few years (first on Sublime Text iirc).

Multi-cursor support is something I want maybe once every few months? Certainly nowhere near a crucial feature, and barely one that makes a list of nice-to-have things.

Multi-cursor editing is frequently a very good substitute for inscrutable vim or awk.
