Pros
Pro Multiple ways of renaming files
You can add a prefix, a suffix, insert text/numbers in the middle of the name at the place of your choosing, number files automatically, find&replace text, and much more.
Cons
Con Concept leads to limited options and horrifying UI
The order of the rules is fixed, AND all the options are shown in the same window, which results in a horrifying display of nearly 100 options. Compare with Advanced Renamer, where you not only can decide the order of the rules yourself but also can repeat rules. AND despite virtually limitless possibilities, the UI remains clear and pleasant to your senses.
Con Cannot get rid of it
Once this is installed, it takes extraordinary efforts to delete the generated files. The program is easily removed but the dll insinuates itself into your system and can't be removed without manual editing of the registration. Good program other than that but in this day of Cold War renewal, you probably don't want a communist country software burrowed like a tick into your PC.

Con Concept leads to still limited options and horrifying UI
The order of the rules is fixed, AND all are shown with all their options are shown in the same window, which results in a horrifying display of nearly 100 options. I've known people being hanged for less. A hundred options, and I still easily think of a job you can't do with it. Compare with Advanced Renamer, where you not only can decide the order of the rules yourself, but also can repeat rules. AND despite virtually limitless possibilities the UI remains clear and pleasant to your senses. Frankly I don't get why BRU gets so many upvotes.
