No one is stopping you from using regexps in IDEs.
And you somehow manage to undersell the rename functionality in an IDE. And I've used move/extract functionality multiple times.
I do however agree that applicable transformations (like upgrading to new syntaxes, or ways of doing stuff as languages evolve) could be applied wholesale to large chunks of code.
