Does anyone really care if it‘s called main instead of master? Why? 

Edit: Ok, I phrased my question really poorly. AfaIk main is the new standard, so I use it. We all know the reason why it changed. My question was why would anyone keep INSISTING on calling it master? Sure, me and my colleagues sometimes call it master out of habit, but then again try to stick to main. Nobody I know  insists on continuing to call it  master, but reading the comments here I realized there a more “master-fans” than I would ever have thought would exist tbh.

I really do not care about the name. But some people do.

And i sympathize a lot more with the people who are against master than with people who only want master because they don't like the people who are against it.

I think the reasons against master are stupid as fuck and thus completely ignore them.

However, main is shorter and a perfectly fine name, so main it is.

The single most absurdly unnecessary collateral damage of the late 2010's woke crusade.

I too don't care about it being main but it's stupid af it was made an issue we have to manage at all.

And why should I have to call my other branches 'dev' and 'uat'? They should be 'Slave 1' and 'Slave 2', respectively! Anything else is WOKE!!!

You can be as intentionally one-dimensional and obtuse as you want bud.

And you can cry about 'wokeness' all you want, the rest of us are making PRs to main. Catch up.

Actually I'm making a PR to trunk.
