You assumption is wrong. I’m a chad that only use terminal and Neovim. I don’t need those filthy mouses. I have a touchpad instead that I also rarely use. I have millions of keymaps engraved in my brain, give me a keyboard and a terminal and I will move mountains.
Someone even wrote a version of dc (the arbitrary precision RPN desktop calculator) with it. They were clearly insane of course, but it proves that sed is more than just find and replace.
Honourable mention to awk's sub() and gsub() that, at least for basic find/replace, do the same thing. awk is often surprisingly quick.
You’re a monster of you actually like regex more than just opening a full text editor. I’d open visual studio and use it to give the text I need before I touch sed
