Personally, I'm very much in favour of the sweeping name change. LiveCode is a complete development tool: a language, a platform and an IDE. Much easier to say "I built it in LiveCode" than "I built it in Java, using OpenJDK 6, NetBeans Matisse GUI Builder and Eclipse"
And it is infinitely more internet-searchable.
