Using c to change text

I have gone quite awhile without using c and instead using d. The reason that I started using c is because it automatically places you into insert mode. This not only saves me one keystroke for commands such as diwi is now ciw, but it also works with the repeat . command!!! This is huge. When refactoring a document I had been creating a macro to change one word to another, using c instead of d allows the use of the . rather than needing to create a macro.
