      Seriously, all Windows software is starting to sound the same, with as little clue as possible as to what it actually does. Remote Desktop on Mac is called “Windows App”. What does that mean? Everything else is called 365.

        It’s called Windows app on Windows now as well. But they also have remote desktop still, and they’re not intercompatible.

        Microsoft truly are terrible at naming things. They always have been. Remember XBone?

          At the same time, I liked .NET’s no-nonsense naming of namespaces. When I see something like System.Threading.Tasks, I can immediately recognise that it’s a namespace that deals with task-based parallelism. Then you have tokio in Rust and I want to stab the person that came up with the name. Same for clap and serde. They mean nothing unless you already know what those packages do.
