main reason being that multiline search-and-replace with sed or awk is painful for me personally.
there's perl too i guess! its regex engine (different from PCRE2) does seem less painful than POSIX or vimregex but i really don't have time to learn it atm.

i mainly use neovim and i haven't particularly used ex-mode much but learning vimregex and reading this vi SE answer makes me want to use
`ex -sc '%s;foo;bar;g'` (pure vim's ex)
or
`nvim -esc '%s;foo;bar;g' (nvim's ex)
for search-and-replacing more often (in tandem with ripgrep and GNU parallel)
`ex -sc '%s;foo;bar;g'` (pure vim's ex)
or
`nvim -esc '%s;foo;bar;g' (nvim's ex)
