    "Google Antigravity" makes it worse though. When I first read that I thought it was going to be some kind of quantum computing hype job. On the other hand, I was thinking the other day what a shitty band name "The Beatles" are in isolation from the music. If the product is good enough it kind of frames the name and makes a bad name completely work.

      No, it is named Antigravity because it is meant to push you away from itself.

  People now come up with "cool" names, then the actual products/libraries. This is why I ignore most of them.
