I don't really get the trend of name collisions. First React, now Fuse... what's next, a Linux brand of detergent?

  What's not to get? Pretty much all words are used as names already and roughly in proportion to how simple they are. This same comment chain can waste space in pretty much any thread on any product. What's the point in having it in every thread?

    If the name is already taken, you can at least go for some qualification (capitlization doesn't count). For example, "Fuse Tools" (or "Fuse Apps"). As a bonus, the domain name is already fusetools.com.

      They don't care, they win in any case. Their user base don't know about fuse, and: - if they are not successful it will not matter; - if they are successful they will out google the original FUSE and win. So their strategy will work for them whatever happens. It's now just a question of moral stand.

      Yeah, except "Fuse Tools" still sounds like tools that you'd use for the fuse filesystem. I'm pretty sure there's at least one fuse-util or fuse-tools package for the major linux distros out there that has nothing to do with this Cordova equivalent.

    They could have pulled up a thesaurus and found a better name.
