AFAICT multi-cursor mode is not nearly as useful as vim (or keyboard macros in most editors). I don't know SublimeText but I do know, functionality of multi-cursors is often limited. For example, say I want to go to all functions calls

    foo(aa, bb, c);
    foo(d, ggg, hh);
    foo(iiii, i, jjjj);

I want to do something to the 2nd argument on each line. add a fn(prevContents). So I search for "foo(" and then pick "put a cursor on every match". Then how do get to the first comma and the select to the second comma on each line? This is easy with vim, easy with keyboard macros, not easy with multiple cursors (that I know of). For example as soon as I press "find" so I can search for the comma I lose multiple cursors. Maybe there's a special "Search with multiple cursors" command but if so that just highlights the issue, you shouldn't need special commands, you should be able to combine existing commands. vim and keyboard macros make that easy.
