i absolutely love wdired. it’s magic.

for extra fun, it combines well with multiple-cursors or visual-regexp-steroids, at which point bulk renaming is basically a game.

I also love wgrep. [1]

and rg.el, which is that UX for ripgrep.

You can also use the built in rgrep functionality with ripgrep, just do something like

    (grep-apply-setting
           'grep-find-command
           "rg --no-heading ")

dam, where's vim's equivalent for this??

whenever I get into netrw I always have to lookup its special bindings to create/rename. I'm jealous :P

Moved from Vim to Doom Emacs (w/ vim keybindings) and I'd recommend. Dired, Magit, and Org-Mode have all been great.

i suppose you could hack something together with fzf and sed and rg. I've seen some pretty hairy stuff done that way.
