You seem to think that refactoring is somehow type-dependent


...


Refactoring has nothing to do with type. If you rename the method 'whatever', you just change all senders.



The example the others pushed as the advantage over a regexp was "renaming a method aaa of class A, leaving a method aaa of class B intact". That has ***all*** to do with type.


Presumed we skip this, there is preciously little added value in smart refactoring as compared with a good regexp search&replace. Which Xcode has.


Thats because you haven't thought of re-factoring as a useful tool, and because of that haven't thought of all the things it could do... Could regexp search and replace easily find all occurrences of a sequence of statements with different arguments, put them into a method, and turn all of the original occurrences into method calls?
