I think it's very nice, and should be the default behavior. Ergonomics of GNU tooling is lacking to say the least. That's why we love fdfind and ripgrep and love find/grep way less.
I would use it if it were the default behavior, but the problem is already solved by the "moreutils" package, which I install on all my machines. This lets you do:
vidir filename
or
vidir directory # default to .
And it will open your $EDITOR with one file name per line. You edit it in the comfort of your favorite editor, and it batch renames for you, or rename the single file for the first case.
Note that if you use vscode, $EDITOR should be "code -w", not just "code".
