Is there any IDE on the planet that does not support variable name refactoring (as one can usually do in Eclipse IDE)? Somehow the Eclipse-based plugin Wolfram Workbench manages it seems to not support it.

Yes, yes, Mathematica uses Wolfram Language expressions (which are perhaps a bit trickier than the variable in most coding languages), and there is always "search and replace".
