best free rename utility for 2009 - which is it?

[brotherS]

After just reading in http://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?topic=1146 that Bulk Rename Utility isn't updated anymore (just when I found some bugs, duh!), I want to ask you guys which utility you recommend.

It should be free, I don't need RegEx and I like it when I can use a program intuitively.

And it would be great if the author still updates it.

BRU is no longer retiring! Development will continue in the future.

And, what is the "best" everyone must decide this on his own habit.
I like free and portable renamers ... so i use Siren and ReNamer

He does... see this thread on his users forum: http://www.bulkrenameutility.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=524!

EDIT: I should have read abterix’ reply first

Its very old but I prefer for fast and simple renaming the 1-4a Rename in expert mode (press F2 after start).

That looks old indeed. 

For the time being I'll stick with Bulk Rename Utility and hope the bugs I found will be fixed soon.
