Backward R in the logo: this drives me nuts. To any readers of the Cyrillic alphabet it says "Ya". So this says "Yaetargetable Decompiler" I can't be the only

  I'm not even Russian and I find this "funny" usage of "Я" and sometimes "И" rather grating.

  It's not written in a Cyrillic language. It's written in English. Nobody comes along and points out that in Spanish the "g" works differently, and it bugs them to see words with "g" in them. It's one thing to do faux-Cyrillic and get the letters wrong. It's quite another to do something silly to a latin letter, and get complaints that it resembles a non-latin letter.

    It doesn't resemble the Cyrillic letter---it is it. "R" is an English letter but not a Cyrillic one, and "Я" is a Cyrillic letter but not an English one, and by flipping them horizontally you transform them into each other. I imagine for many of the 7,574,303 people in Russia who speak English and probably also a fair chunk of the 854,955 Americans who speak Russian (and presumably have mastered both alphabets), it's annoying. Not a huge deal, just annoying. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_English-speaking_population https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_English-s... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_language_in_the_United_States https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_language_in_the_United...

      There are so many symbols from different languages that resemble each other. If I use a smiley face, that doesn't mean I used a "ü" or a "ツ" from another alphabet just because it looks similar. A backwards R is visually the same as a Cyrillic character, but that doesn't mean I'm writing in Cyrillic, just like a "P" is visually the same as a Cyrillic character but doesn't mean I'm writing in Cyrillic.
