Choosing cryptic names because it's easier to find information about them is bad. With this argument, you can not only fight against removal of the NextStep prefix (Data, Number, Date… try googling that), but also demand that the language should be spelled "Sweeft", and that framework functions should loose their meaningful names and get called by a UUID instead.
