I absolutely refuse to use this because of the inappropriate name of the tool. It is far too general to be anywhere near what I would consider well-named, and seems mostly just a lazy convenience. cloboot would work just as well, and give a user some chance of associating the name of the tool with the purpose of the tool. (I already have a boot.)


When you install the tool you can name it whatever you want. I have qualms about "just download this binary and execute it, trust me" installation methods, but the advantage is you can put it wherever, and name it whatever suits your system.

I recommend naming it 'unicorn-slomp'. Or 'mustash-cash-stash' - but you can pick your own cartoons to make a reference to, you are totally empowered here.


Better if the canonical name was just set in a sensible way by its proprietors...
