The advantage of a "real" name is to simplify > search ("emacs eww rendering problem" vs "emacs web rendering problem"). All for it. There are many hard-to-search examples, for example: * C, D, Basic, Go (programming languages) * X (windowing system) It can often be difficult to search related stuff about them. If Emacs is called "Edit" or "Editor", I'll be annoyed, too. -- Best regards, Xue Fuqiao. http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/
