Actually, I'd vote for a WO release that added "get" to all methods and provided no compatibility deprecation at all.

Wow, want to bleed some, huh?

But, I agree, Java has pretty clearly defined naming conventions, and the "get" prefix is most definitively NOT just a "a silly Java hack for JavaBeans", but one of those (generally) sensible and (generally) well adopted conventions.

Heh - and while we're at it, let's replace NSArray with ArrayList, NSDictionary with HashMap and NSSet with .... well, some of those gazillion java collection classes....

This already should have happened. Once you get a firm grasp of the Java Collections API, it's design, intention and power, NSArray and it's company will make you want to puke. I actually thought that WO would move in this direction by first making NSArray implement List, and do all the similar stuff, then depreciate Foundation collections, and the finally get rid of them. Well, maybe that still is the intention, but it sure is slow.
