Does the name really inhibit adoption in a corporate environment that much, or is it just an excuse people put down in questionnaires? Plenty of popular tools

Plenty of popular tools with questionable names. Splunk and slack comes to mind.
- szquadri 6y agoI can vouch that I avoided deploying it in corp environments due to the questionable name. "Element" is fine and is generic just like "Matrix". So name really does matter (specially in formal/corporate environments).
- Barrin92 6y agopurely anecdotal but I've seen it twice that a piece of software was rejected because of a weird name. Probably doesn't happen often, but there's people when they have a few alternatives they'll just throw the strange sounding one out first.
