Uh, you sort of missed the point... The point was that you align similar-looking lines when /writing/ the code, so that it's in the right form when you need to modify it later, and all you need to do is Alt-Click-Drag to create 20 cursors, and type away. Or to put it another way: the whole point is to turn an O(n) operation into an O(1) operation. If you have to make O(n) cursor-additions then you've defeated the whole purpose. That said, what you mentioned is not just a Sublime feature... I use SciTE which does exactly the same thing. =P
Hmm I see. I was thinking more of the situation where the lines are not aligned (maybe someone else's code), and you want to add something to all of them once. If you need to edit them multiple times then aligning is better.
Hmm that's good on Scite, most of the editors I had tried before Sublime didn't have this feature...
