The difference is that `clang-rename` is a stand-alone binary with CLI whereas `clangd` isn't typically used as such (it can be, but it's a weird use-case).

I don't know if there are any existing users out there, if there are then I assume there are very few.

It was created as an intern project long ago (I guess 2014/2015?) and was in a semi-functional state, and then when I was an intern in 2016 I improved it significantly and built the integration with Vim and updated one for Emacs. We had some use-cases, but AFAIK there are none anymore at Google, and I believe most users we had were there.

Personally, I don't see any reason to keep `clang-rename` and support it, I don't think it's useful anymore. But this is Open-Source world so some people might object.
