I agree ... but I think it would be nice if such palettes *did* come  
with Gorm by default.
Certainly it would be nice to have some sort of scripting and  
database palettes included (even if only very simple ones) ... it  
would help to differentiate Gorm from the interface generation tools  
out there, and show just how/why it is a superior technology.

As for the name change ... I'm obviously biased, having picked it in  
the first place, but I see no reason to change it and don't think any  
name will please everyone.
