Stupid like "windows" for a windowing system or "word" for a word processor or "mail" for an email client or "iMessage" for a messaging system, or Pages, Numbers, or everything starting with an "i" from Apple, or everything g by Google or the endless stream of startup named like their name was created using one of those "startup name generator"?
I am a non native english speaker, if I had not discovered much of the software I know of,including Photoshop, in the late 80s when I was a kid and didn't know English I would have thought software companies were run by idiots.
But lucky me (and them) Photoshop now for me it's just a name with no actual meaning.
Is Krita worse than Photoshop as a name? Is Blender worse than Maya?
are Chrome or Safari or Edge really better than Firefox?
I'm not sure.
