 True, and I'm all in for making the learning curve less steep, but

rebranding things with names that are unassociated with them is IMO totally

the wrong way to go.
Don't hit people getting intrested with all the terminology, only use words

that they will probably understand, I get it. But calling it something that

its not *just so people will like it* is plain silly IMO.

In that instance I'd have no problem, as you pointed out its not

*rebranding*, its making it easier to access for beginners and I'm all up

for that.
