Yes, this echoes my thoughts as well

I kind of like IJX and IJS; I can't remember if I once found it cryptic, but
I don't think I did.  Though, of course, I started back in the MDI days, and
windows were literally labeled IJX and IJS :)

To that point though, if we normalize terminology, it should be reflected in
the frontends.  In particular, I find the use of the window title "term" in
GTK IDE confusing.  It also makes ambiguity more likely, because jconsole,
which is also still visible with GTK IDE, is a terminal (and, on Linux or
Mac, might even be called "term").

For GTK IDE's editor specifically, I think "the script editor" is fine,
because it can contain multiple IJS tabs.  Though individually those are
still IJSes :)
