Bad Names for Programs - Fortune [possible satire]

rindolfmarzy: Emacs is not a better vim. They are very different.
rindolfmarzy: I could never get used to Emacs, but have used Vim for many years.
marzyrindolf Emacs + Evil mode makes a better vim
rindolfmarzy: does it support all Vim extensions?
marzyno, that's why its better. it doesn't come with a badly-designed scripting language!!
rindolfmarzy: well, it's still not 100% compatible with vim.
rindolfmarzy: and Evil is an awful name. Sorry.
rindolf"The only thing more evil than XSLT is XSLT edited with Emacs Evil mode." ;-)
marzyi think it's a good name considering emacs and vi(m) rivalry
rindolfmarzy: of course, I've heard worse - coq and coccinelle.
rindolfAnd then there's this guy here who called his programming language Flua which reminds me of Flu and Influenza.
Reactionaryrindolf: lol
dardevelinrindolf, flua IDE is not that bad to be fair (at least the little i tried )
rindolfdardevelin: didn't say *it* was bad - I said the name was bad.
rindolfdardevelin: and I could never get it running here. Problems with Py3 and PyQt.
dardevelinrindolf, oh that sucks... :/
rindolfdardevelin: yes.
dardevelinrindolf, yeah i know you didn't said it was bad, just as gave you my opinion on it as a side note. sorry i should have made it more explicit :)
rindolfOf course, Evil is not as bad a name as SLIME, which is another Emacs mode.
dardevelinrindolf, i had troubles with SLIME once and boy i got tired of fighting with it
rindolfReportedly it was also the nickname of an internal Microsoft version control system called SLM (that is now largely discontinued).
