if you're doing whole lines, I do this infrequently enough that I
just use

:'<,'>s!.*!<tag>&</tag>

which will operate on the highlighted lines or

:g/pattern/s!.*!<tag>&</tag>

to operate on lines matching "pattern". However, if you do it
frequently or need to operate on partial lines, you can investigate

I can't say I've used it, but it's the #1 answer given anytime
anybody asks a question like yours, so it seems to have a lot of
happy users :)

I'm not sure what behavior you're expecting here, as

viws"

should visualize the inner word, delete it, leave you in insert
mode where your double-quote appears. OTOH,

viwS"

visualizes the inner word, then deletes the entire line (except
leading whitespace, depending on your indentation settings),
leaves you in insert mode, where your double-quote appears. If
you get behavior different from either of these, you likely have
some mapping interfering that you'd have to track down.
