I'll have to check that out. I do think that would work.

Of course, when it comes to Vim Golf, it would be comparable.

TdD

-or-

$TdD

Is effectively the same number of characters (strokes).

Tdx

I use macros quite frequently. I wouldn't have considered them for this
particular use case as it was two lines of data I was cleaning up.

If I need to do something multiple times and I have a wrote process to
use, I tend to reach for the macro hammer quite readily.

Agreed. It's just not proper for this use case. And it doesn't answer
the question of if there is a different method that is like a backwards dw.
