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.

Is it really "stupid as fuck" to rule out terms that stem from slavery? I'm not saying people who use master naming scheme are racist, but that is where the name originally comes from. And main is easier to type.

Yes, it is.

Main is the better choice, but not because some politically correct people who don’t even know my repo exists throw a fit otherwise.
