Comment (by humdinger):

 We're not dropping features, we were talking about renaming - 15 years
 ago...

 But thanks for the reminder. This ticket is still valid: This feature does
 not "Get info", it offers to "show and set certain properties" of a file,
 i.e. the default app and file permissions. Maybe in the future also edit
 the attributes in the 3rd tab - that one being a new feature BeOS didn't
 have.

 I still think renaming it to "Info", as proposed by Axel, would be a good
 compromise (though "info" != "properties") and we could retain the totally
 muscle-memoried shortcut ALT+I.
