Help with regex for emphasis marker fontification
That is a cool tool. If I can use visual-regexp-steroids.el to manage regex matching in emacs (I need to figure out how to do this if this is even possible), but also I do not understand what I need to change in the variable org-emphasis-regexp-components. The variable is described as the following....

What does emacs and elisp has as an advantage over nvim and lua?
https://github.com/benma/visual-regexp-steroids.el/. There is always a package for what you need in emacs or you can always make your own. This package supports python regex in emacs which supports look ahead/behind and alot of other things.

create a filter using a regular expression to highlight duplicate words in a line
Note at the bottom of emacswiki.org/[…]/RegularExpression that with python available, you can use visual-regexp-steroids to get access to sufficiently-expressive regexp.
- Use "\/\*(.|\n)*?\*\/" with replace-regexp-in-string

Do you use interactive regexp replace with Emacs regexps? Then this snippet may make your life easier.
I use visual-regexp-steroids to allow searching and replacing with alternative syntaxes (specifically, PCRE). It really makes the experience better along with visual-regexp itself.

Smarter search and replace (already built-in)
Probably by using pcre2el. There is also visual-regexp-steroids which lets you use python engine as well (aside from pcre2el) and achieve the same thing shown here but interfacing with python.

How can I replace word at point and all its occurences on screen?
https://github.com/benma/visual-regexp.el is a package you might want. Doing things starting with : is an evil thing, so if you want to do things that way you’ll have to fiddle with that.

how do i get emacs to use a sane syntax for regular expression?
As others have said, this question crops up regularly. My take is: Just learn the syntax. People don't want to, but I don't believe it's actually difficult to remember. Use re-builder and I'd suggest using https://github.com/benma/visual-regexp.el for feedback, and just spend a bit of time learning, and the entire problem just goes away.
- Use "\/\*(.|\n)*?\*\/" with replace-regexp-in-string

Emacs for You – A 72 line –/.emacs to quickly set up vanilla Emacs for editing
I have not tried the multiple cursors package, but regarding the problem of manipulating several lines at once with instant preview, you could look at the visual-regexp package:

How can I advise the vr/query-replace function from visual-regexp?
I use the package visual-regexp for search and replace. I don't like how the line for the current replacement decision is not centered.

Bridging Islands in Emacs: re-builder and query-replace-regexp
There is also https://github.com/benma/visual-regexp.el which kind of do the same thing.
