Also tbh, if it does the same things as before, they could call it POOP, and I'd still use it. The name has no bearing on how it functions.

Who is really out here getting bent out of shape over a name?

    Software needs users to fund development and most users find the software via word of mouth and there's no way I'm telling a friend that they should try POOP for their next art project

    That sounds like an argument against the name change…

    No, I vote they change it to be just an unpronounceable symbol. You know, kind of like the artist formerly known as Prince.

    It's a lot harder to complain about a name change if it's not a name!
