...no: avoid misleading or meaningless drivel, puffery, and redundancy. Do, however, point out some basic features that might help users decide which of our oofteen deflate libraries fits their needs. Add -er if you think it helps, or add some examples.
Otherwise, a common-sense guideline risks devolving into 'avoid adjectives; you might accidentally write a useful description'.
