People have been complaining about "The GIMP" for literally decades... (edit: in case this isn't clear, Spencer Kimball, the CEO of CockroachLabs, also created "The GIMP" at Berkeley).
Sadly, names do matter. Cockroach seems to be a great DB from my poking at it, but there's definitely a visceral reaction some people have to the name (myself included) that has to be overcome first.
- crispinb 9y agoTrue enough. It's a really bad name. On the other hand, someone would have to be astonishingly thick (or at best cavalier about their business) to take that seriously into account when deciding whether or not to use it.
