I've played around with it a bit, and it feels quite comfortable.
There is certain amount of overlap with Magnar Sveen's expand-region,
but easy-kill provides finer controls.
On the other hand, extending it with new "things" will be more
difficult, since each one of them will require a dedicated key and some
headspace estate to remember it. And there's no mechanism to "expand"
the region from smaller to bigger things. Maybe I don't really need
that, though.
The one problem I encountered has to do with the next command expecting
an active region: mc/mark-all-like-this-dwim, from the multiple-cursors
package, uses the active region, if it's present.
With expand-region, the region becomes active as a result, and
mc/mark-all-like-this-dwim marks all occurences of the text in the
region. Not so with easy-kill: the text gets copied to the kill ring,
but the region is inactive, so mc/mark-all-like-this-dwim just uses the
symbol at point.
