I did not pick anything. It is your example. Right from your page. And the only one you provide. If you have a better one: show us.
Edit: Also see the screenshot here for a more complex extract method refactoring: http://qafoolabs.github.io/php-refactoring-browser/
Similarely to the convert-local-to-instance-variable example, to me it looks like overkill. I never had a problem, doing these things manually. But if you like doing it this way - I dont complain. To each his own.
It's the difference between using hjkl for movement, and ignoring all the other commands vim as to offer. Why wouldn't want you to automate patterns in your work?
