Nothing against TAGS, the new feature can be an alternative for people
that prefer to perform mass renames using the edit-compile-edit cycle.

Also, M-x compile can be used to run any tool that outputs errors in the
form "file:line_number" (for example, a code style linter).  Having a
way to perform search and replace on those lines could help in some
workflows without the user needing to record a macro or similar
automation.
