Why? Because I'd rather catch any anomalies before I add them.
My favourite Windows renamer is Bulk Rename Utility - mainly because I've been using it since the year dot

I run linux and when I need to bulk rename, depending on the complexity if the situation, I either use the command line sed or rename or I'll use the GUI krename.
I really don't want to rename the files. When working with files that have spaces in their filenames from the command, you have to enclose the path/filename in quotes. If you use underscores or dots, though, you can omit the quotes. It's just easier without the spaces and I've grown accustomed to this file naming convention over the past decade or so.
