Try the 'visual mode' of vim.  It works a lot like what you're used to.
Shift-v highlights.  Then press 'c' and type what the replacement text,
then press Esc.  Works for blocks too - ('Ctrl-v').  Also for blocks, you
can insert a column of char's, using 'i' instead of the 'c' as above.
Very slick.

Have you tried gvim in X?  Nice mouse integration, such as dbl-click
highlighting the word.
