From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Just so you know, in emacs you can do mass rename of multiple files using dired-mode. Never use a for loop again.
I'm sorry, I'm too old to learn emacs over my perfect knowledge of Midnight Commander.
The point of this topic was to tell why we are using terminal, and emacs is kind of terminal on steroids, there are like 1000 key bindings and the mouse is totally optional, you are proving the point even further.
dired mode is very similar to mc
There's also vidir from moreutils, which lets you bulk-rename files in your $EDITOR of choice.
I just discovered that I know emacs commands because I use them in the bash terminal all the time.
Hey look, it's us:

It's emacspiracy to subtly teach unsuspecting Ubuntu users the despicable ways of Emacs Lisp.
It all starts with learning 100 common terminal keybindings. And un-learning Ctrl-C.
