I do not agree.
Why search in all white code for a semicolon or scroll 3 thousand times to compare code while you can highlight and fold. There is just no reason, It makes life easier and less prone to errors.

Why select with mouse, ctrl +c, go in place with mouse (and scroll), click and ctrl +v, while I can yy, :45 and p?
I just left the keyboard 2 times for no reason. It just slows me down...
