That's certainly a more friendly approach :-)

That's actually a good argument. With IEM GUIs, the argument list
is so
long that it is not really practical to type it out, but with gatoms
this could be a nice shortcut, for example, to create a float atom
with
send/receive names without opening the properties.

think typing "floatatom" or "symbolatom" (or "listbox") into an
object would be cumbersome at first glance, and we would need an
alias to make it worth. In that sense, their shortcut is just the
way to go.
