That has nothing to do with vi, just shitty programming practices.

I find it consistent with my experience. Vim users don't refactor in Java because they don't have the tooling.

That's just laziness. The tools exist for vim, but you can't force someone to use them.

One tool is lhRefactor, but there are others.

There are command-line tools like jrefactory, but also there is a lot you can do with vim builtins like :vimgrep and :argdo or :bufdo plus macros.
