It's worth remembering that . (i.e. dot) repeats the last edit command. vim-repeat ( https://github.com/tpope/vim-repeat ) makes this even better. Although, there are still several situations where macros are better, especially things that involve several motions and edits. (I tend to use qw because w is more convenient to hit after @). Also, it's occasionally useful to remember that you can use the double quote character " to paste a macro, edit it and then update it. i.e. ( "ep .... edit ... ^"ed$ )
