GIMP could try and start a new trend but I think that most of its users 
(even the ones that are casual users of GIMP) would recognize the Acquire 
menu as it is used in other programs to get images from the external sources 
I mentioned in a previous email.

A lot of the scripts located under Create would not be missed by many. The 
most useful "Create" entry (or the one people get pointed to often when 
asked how to make scripts along a curve) Text Circle. Not sure where it 
would wind up if there was no Create any more unless it was moved to a "New 
From" menu with Screenshot and Scanner but it could make that sub-menu messy 
unless the script based "New From" entries had a separator line before the 
script based entries.
