I know this has been mentioned before, and I'm honestly not trying to troll or anything, but what is up with the naming of these applications? I would guess that we're mostly not fans of MS software because we know about better free and/or open source alternatives. But one thing they do well is name their products simply and to the point.

If I saw "Grisbi" and some other software named something that was somehow obviously related to money or finance in a list of personal finance software I could download, I'd just about always try the one with the more relevant name first. "GnuCash" works because the name tells me it deals with money. "Grisbi" tells me nothing.
