- thih9 3y agoI see your point. At the same time Nokogiri for me has more character. It feels justified too, the gem is everywhere and it’s very useful. Also, since this is one of the most popular ruby gems, it’s hard for me to imagine that a rubyist would forget what this gem is about. Plus, there is already a “libxml-ruby” gem. I like having library names that are distinct. But yes, ruby does indeed have a lot of names like Nokogiri, (or Capybara, or VCR, etc).
