People get so hung up on this, but it's literally the shallowest sort of refactoring. If you're choosing your tools strictly for this you're doing yourself a disservice.

It is also the simplest refactoring, and my point is no command line tricks I have can seen can even reliably do this.

Refactoring support in modern IDEs goes far beyond renaming public fields and methods.

I've had this exact conversation so many times over the years.

In truth, you just don't know the tools that well. And that's ok, but as someone who does and regularly does these things in both IDE's and in vim, you're wrong.

But I'm not going to bother trying to convince you, the same way I'm not going to try and convince you that my gf of 11 years is pretty awesome. I don't need you to get better to know that you're wrong.

Good for you. 17 years since I met my gf here.

And I started on vim a long time before IntelliJ :-)
