You put it like missing "fully automatic renaming" makes it impossible
to rename stuff at all. But there's still a text editor and global
search-and-replace. Not to mention all the other tools that people used
in years before Creator came into existence.

Yes, renaming files would be nice. No doubt. I would like to use it myself.

It's just that other things are ranked higher by those people who
do the work. And if it really irks you, why not implement it?
