Rename Control to NodeUI

[AaronRecord]

I think this change would better match the current naming scheme, then we'd have Node2D for 2D nodes, Node3D nodes, and NodeUI for UI nodes.

I'm not familiar with any other engine or framework that uses the term Control to describe a UI component, but there's also plenty of engine's and frameworks I'm not familiar with so I'd be happy to hear arguments otherwise.

The name NodeUI sounds good to me. However, something similar to what you say happens: who else call them that? I would expect people to search for "Widget" (window gadget) or… "Control".

Microsoft.

Microsoft Visual Basic 1.0 is as far back as I can trace the term, both the DOS and the Windows 3.0 version use the term "Control". Windows API uses the term, see Windows Controls. COM kept the term, see ActiveX Controls. And .NET still uses it, see Control class.

They are, of course, components. Which is the approach that replaced Model-View-Controller (think Smalltalk not Ruby on Rails). If I were to speculate… Well, enough said.

This was already proposed in #763 a while ago, and it was rejected.
