It’s so useful that sometimes I’m tempted to reach for it in non-ETL contexts. My problem is that these tools generally don’t mesh well with real-time streaming requirements.
Something like Lightspeed lets you zone in on the specific character faster than repeatedly pressing n. Sure, that means installing a plugin, but some people accept that trade off.
In that case it’s quite handy to have a motion plugin at your disposal. Or otherwise use plugins that extend the built in targets (like targets.vim)
There are plenty of GUI IDEs that use Neovim as their backends like Oni. You can just google “Neovim GUI” and get a long list of them.
