calibre does indeed contain many things, some of which are more or less necessary.
But as a rule, they are things which are understandably useful. Maybe not all the time -- but you can understand why certain people find it useful.
Beyond that, the plugin infrastructure allows you to fundamentally change the way calibre works.
Things like FanFicFare, OverDrive Link, KindleUnpack, all are very useful indeed. But none of them stand a chance of being part of calibre's core.
And even calibre tries to avoid feature creep.
Now, using regex to bulk edit filenames is something that I don't understand the
why of.
Perhaps if you weren't so resistant to explaining how you would use it, we might understand why you think it is useful.
Do note, that nothing I or anyone else so far in this thread say, actually matters.
We don't own calibre -- only @kovidgoyal's opinion matters, and he hasn't spoken up in this thread. EDIT: Yes he did, while I was typing this.
We are just curious. And maybe, if we could be convinced of the usefulness, we could join you in asking for this.
