My first multicursor experience is with Helix (it goes to show what it means to have it built in instead of trying to find plugins for it) so it may be unsatisfactory for people who have used similar functionality in other editors. I use it in a very basic way - like change similar things on related lines - but it is a nice enough feature for me to mention it as part of the batteries included Helix experience. My main issue now that I am using Helix locally is that its keybindings are not well supported in other places I occasionally work (VSCode, Google Colab) and I keep having to mentally switch between vi/hx bindings. Not a hindrance enough to go back to vim though.

You may want to check helix.vim. it's a vim script that emulates helix
