What is the generous reading of kdenlive?

Just to be clear, from me at least, this isn’t intended as unbridled hate. The names are bad. So what? Anyone who’s named a software project knows it is an annoying task. And it isn’t very important. I think open source names are often somewhat sarcastic or lampshade-y, and I like it that way.

Inkscape is a great name, IMO.




I'll take it, not much to praise. It reads well (kayden live) unlike other names I have to grudgingly pronounce (postgresql, qjackctl, systemctl come to mind).

But cheers, now I see I was reactive towards a generalised view of your point; I now understand where you're coming from, I'm with you there.
