People are so entitled that they demand 1000s of hours of free (OSS) dev and aesthetics that please them.
If the name is off-putting to you, you're free not to use it. If lots of people agree with you (that the off-putting name is more significant than the contribution) then the market will have spoken and the tool will die.
But if it doesn't die then you should probably reconsider your hang-up.
- _ph_ 5y agoYou completely misunderstood the intention of my posting. I feel no entitlement to use git. My posting was meant as a comment about practises in programming. Being a long-term developer, I know about all the temptations about funny names, insider jokes, sometimes inappropriate humor. And yes, they are can be fun. But at some point it might be a good idea not to expose all of this to the public. That it is a good idea to try to use appropriate terms for things. Makes it easier to understand.
