One-word quips sound good on paper, but this is an open source project with engineers as the target audience. It's not seeking (at this time) to bring revenue or make sales, so I'd argue that speaking truth to the problem is more likely to drive up adoption.
> May I ask how the word "shitty" more truthful than "poorly written" or "complex"?
Evokes emotions people affected by a situation can sympathize with more effectively, which by virtue of establishing a shared emotional bond over a topic helps the developer convey not just the situation but the frustrations of the situation more effectively than one might expect "poorly written" or "complex" to do alone.
> Citing professionalism isn't a quip, it's shorthand for a code of conduct and long accepted practices of interaction with others.
The code of conduct isn't uniform, so it can't be used effectively as shorthand for such. But at this point we're in the weeds.
Again, no short-term revenue prospects, just a tool OP wants to socialize to make a few lives easier. If you have an objection over verbiage, that's fine, but it's an exhibition of professionalism from yourself to the OP to build a sound defense of your position as to how it would help the engineer to self-censor the description of a tool where the audience by-and-large may not care.
Up to you. My point is the engineer doesn't need to suppress who they are in this specific context, and my point to you is it shouldn't impact your usage of what looks to be an effective short-term debugging tool.
