How do I search and replace text across multiple files in Vim?

:args **/*.py | argdo %s/old/new/gc | update

Vim can perform search-and-replace across multiple files without any plugins by combining the arglist with :argdo.

:args **/*.js | argdo %s/old/new/ge | update

The argument list (arglist) is Vim's mechanism for loading a set of files and running commands across all of them.
