Since it's a product by a Berlin company, isn't it pronounced "beet-veesh"? You know, German and all?

In northrhine-westphalia, we would say Bitwich (the ch spoking like "chhh", not like "k"). In other places in germany, it would rather be "Bitwick" though.

I think it's more common to pronounce it the english way though.

I wonder if he petitioned Image Line for a DAW called StraightyLines?

I heard IL got into legal trouble with Kellogg's because of the name Fruity Loops.

Kind of reminds me of how many people hate the Endorphine.es Furthrrrr generator (which is pretty much a clone of the Buchla 259) because they think it looks like a toy .

Its looks are what actually swayed me to get one over similar oscillators

It's obviously an anagram for Gwibit which is German for "badass daw" or "frog" depending on translation.

I will not consider Bitwig because...
