I don't know if it's under-publicized, but I got hooked on emacs when I discovered keyboard macros. I have start/end/call assigned to function keys, and I use them whenever I'm doing repetitive editing.

I also like the integrated grep and next-error, which I also assign to function keys.

... and the combination of grep, next-error and keyboard macros really automates global changes.
