For me it’s 99% about performance. IntelliJ is dog slow. I simply won’t accept an application with that level of cruft to run on my machine 24/7. Give me a simple text editor.

Also, if you have so many instances of a name in your codebase that you need automated tools to change it, and you haven’t already split that code out of the repo into a well named and stable library, I consider that a code smell. You’re building your house on jelly.

In the rare case I end up in that spot, I can use sed.
