I find vims block highlighting (ctrl+v) very useful, never noticed it being part of an IDE.

That being said I don't think it's that big a deal but I've seen some fucking vim wizards churn out code faster than what's reasonable for human beings

As far as I'm aware multicursors are a superset of block editing (i.e. multicursors can emulate block editing but the reverse is not true), so many (most?) modern IDEs can at least emulate block editing.

The Jetbrains suite and Sublime text have this feature. Hold Alt while selecting with the mouse.
