Anyone know why the name was changed? Trademark issues or something like that?

  > "It was a “political” decision to change project name and I don’t want to talk about it right now. Maybe I’ll blog about it some day. But there was another reason to change the name: I plan to use “Emmet” brand name for other developer products, and they will have nothing with “coding” (so Zen Coding was a bit restrictive name)." http://www.reddit.com/r/web_design/comments/174cyu/emmet_previously_known_as_zen_coding_cheat_sheet/#c82bo2t http://www.reddit.com/r/web_design/comments/174cyu/emmet_pre... Never seen any more fleshed-out explanation of the rename. The linked post pretty much repeats the final phrase: > At first, the project name has been changed. “Emmet” is gonna be brand name for new tools and not all of them will be related to “coding”.

    Emmet name doesnt talk to me , zen coding i immediatly understand what it's all about. Why not just keep the former name ? I mean ,zen coding is a concept more than a product. You dont put a brand on a concept.

      > Why not just keep the former name ? I've quoted the only "explanations" I know of, as I wrote I don't know of any other. If you want more info, but the developer.

      I agree. If I was given just the name I could make a pretty decent prediction what Zen Coding would do... But Emmet, not so much.
