"Utilities" is a generic term suggesting it is small, potentially reusable, purpose-limited, and used to simplify a task. "Utilities" doesn't indicate the audience or the intended longevity of use of the tool like "houseplant" and "bouquet" do. Both indicate they are built for personal use cases, suggesting potentially low reusability. The longevity of "houseplant" suggests it's intended for ongoing use, while "bouquet" suggests a limited use tool. With work, either could be made reusable for others, but I think it's implied that the scope is an edge case or uncommon case that likely only applies to its creator or a very limited audience. I see value in the terms, but these terms may themselves be houseplant terms, not sure if general adoption is useful to someone not building houseplant software, they are mostly hobbiest terms by definition. | ||
