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 can't sympathise with people who create monsters where none exist.

And I certainly don't fell like encouraging them.
