One thing I hated with GNU screen was how hard it was to google. I knew there was a certain fix for a special edge-case but the generic name made it hard to search for.

This project don't even have the GNU keyword to help.

I guess this is an aspect where search engines are much better today, to get the context. But still, the issue remains.

And if you do change, don't change to Windows.

Totally agree. The people who have heard of GNU screen will learn the difference and those that haven't are blissfully unaware.

You are right, it is odd (at least I think of it is), people don't really care about the name, though to be fair some people really think it is important, .com is so important, ok it is true for you, but reality is nobody cares, just focus on the product capabilties.
