If you insist, you may have a look at https://github.com/mg979/vim-visual-multi

It implements multi cursors in vim and combines it with vim movements etc.

Yeah I used it (or something similar) when I was actively using vim. It wasn't as good as a proper IDE but was fairly good for a variety of use cases.

(I actually tried to implement my own multi-cursor plugin in vim, and got a decent amount of the way there before realizing my fundamental approach probably wouldn't work.)
