I think it's more about getting used to f-F,t-T,A,I, and <semicolon> which can be quicker especially with code. You can also add easymotion or similar plugins for the powered version of those.

I used to be a big fan of easymotion until I discovered that / is also a motion and that with inline search enabled you can use CTRL-G to cycle through results.

Example: d / foo, first foo will be highlighted, use CTRL-G to select the next one if not correct (repeat if necessary; CTRL-T cycles backwards), ENTER to delete until highlighted section.

Unfortunately CTRL-G is not implemented in IdeaVIM.
