I like "control point" too. > Curves panel: I'm unsure about this. Graphs panel is the most liked by me. Yes, my vote is for Graphs panel too. "Parameter-Animation-Curves", or just "Parameter Curves" - looks too complex and... there is "curves". > BLine: I prefer Curve. The "Create curve gradient BLine" is wrong.

Yes, it illustrates. But the "encapsulate" is less intuitive for most users. > Groups & Encapsulate: I like both like they are now.

The thing is that we started to talk about terminology is because of our conversation with Timothée after his talk. We were discussing details and I have noticed that most of the time he says "Group" instead of "Encapsulate". I've pointed that this could be confusing. Also I remebered other people that use such term in casual talk. That's how this "terminology rethinking" theme have been brought up. > The simple logic would tell the newbie > that "Encapsulate" produces a "Capsule" and now a weird "Paste Canvas > layer".

I don't see problem - the current group icons fit well with"sets" terminology as well. > Also the capsule icon for the Paste Canvas layer and the Encapsulate > action icon should be changed to something different (perhaps go back to the > old brown paste canvas folder icon. Yes. And in fact I like the "old brown" icon better, because it looks more intuitive (from my point of view). > Also it might be needed to change Paste > Canvas layer to Group layer.
