Your comment was "its more complex" with this software and its its not. (you can replace an UNLIMITED sized paragrah in as many files as you want without scripting... you were talking about command line replacemnt methods now your suddenly going into scripting somthing to do replacement)
So thump the unix bible elseware untill you actually try using the software your claiming your command line skills trump.
Wow... what's with all the hate? All I said is that it possible to do simple replacements with a 1 liner, and possible to do complex multifile replacements with some simple scripting. I never claimed anything was 'superior' nor the task more 'complex', only that the tools to do the task aren't available out of the box and require additional software. That's hardly a barrier to task completion.

In fact quite explicitly said that whatever tool one is comfortable with is the one that'll be tapped to do the job. If the end result is that everything that needs to be searched and/or replaced gets done, then what's the difference aside from the comfort level of the person using it?

You have something against unix? Did a unix guru anally violate your mother or something?
