so your point is that you are policing what people think is shameful or ignorant? Is it too much to not think too high of a VSCode fork? Geez, people are still

so your point is that you are policing what people think is shameful or ignorant? Is it too much to not think too high of a VSCode fork? Geez, people are still this impressed by big tech?

Since when did disagreeing become policing? But yes, if someone calls me ignorant without any justification, I'm going to disagree. And if you think that's "policing", I'm sorry but you seem to be the ignorant one here around the meaning of that word. "Geez," it's just a name. Is it too much to not get worked up over a perfectly innocent and fun name?

  Perfectly innocent and fun name, coming from Google? Are you for real? That's one of the craziest things I've read in this forum, someone still thinking Google is an innocent startup with a "Don't be evil" motto.

    You think the name is evil...? Sorry, but that's one of the craziest things I've read in this forum. We're not talking about monopolistic business strategy here or anything. We're talking about a product name. So yeah, I think the name is perfectly innocent and fun. I cannot understand the level of conspiratorial thinking that must be involved to think "antigravity" is some kind of offensive choice. Bizarre.

      The name that you are treating as a separate entity, does not exist by itself. Naming a product is an act of a company, Google. There is no conspiracy here, we are talking about bad taste and low quality.

        Whether the name is "shameful" has nothing to do with who names it. Yes, the name does exist by itself. The name is fine. You are bringing some kind of anti-Google prejudice to this that is irrelevant and frankly baffling.

        not me, I wasn't the one that started the thread but anti-google sentiment (not prejudice) is everywhere now, what is less common, but not here in HN, is ex-google employees and people with a one-sided relationship with google spending a good amount of their time defending Google. That is indeed irrelevant and baffling.
