Not that I'm against the idea behind the software, but the amount of name-stealing because it sounds cool (sometimes kind of relevant, sometimes not) that software has done, has totally polluted the original words to the point they sometimes don't show up in search results. Even the two Steve's and their Apple company had this issue (as did record companies etc. etc.). Try searching for python now and 'nary a snake to be mentioned. To be fair I'm equally pissed off that a bunch of different pharmaceutical companies re-brand identical molecules with different names for each company and sometimes for different countries even within a single company. Sometimes all this naming cleverness or arbitrariness just makes the world more confusing for everyone. | ||

Fair. I guess it's just hard to come up with nice sounding names that are truly original like Skype and Häagen-Dazs, so you use an existing one. Hopefully this niche macOS utility doesn't start ranking above search results for the actual drug Modafinil :) | ||
