FWIW, I suspect that we may have to ask the parties who hold strong views, such as Alan, the Drivers such as Bulia and the Translators to give us pros and cons for two basic alternatives:
A. We agree that the present name "Effects" is wrong, but delivering Effects "On" in version 0.44 is so important that we will use this name (perhaps merely as a placeholder) and fix the UI in the next release.
B. We agree that a coherent UI is so important that we will leave Effects "Off" in version 0.44 and turn them on by default when the UI is fit for public use.
No wonder this thread grew to 20+ messages. Is no one listening to what I'm saying?
For me it's neither A nor B, but C: leave "Effects" alone forever. It's perfectly logical and in place. Any arguments for "Effect" I've heard so far were very unconvincing.
And even if I agreed to the name change, of course disabling effects for the release because of this is simply out of the question.
Can we please drop this subject?
