True. But that's not a reason for not taking care of the name.
If you want the tool to be successful, it should be well identified. It
has to have a name.

I don't think so. I installed it twice, i made other people install it 3
times. I hope to have it installed even more in the company :)

I'd like to work on it, to work with, to make some other people work
with it, to make other people update their plugin. I'll have to refer to
it, thus to name it.

We now have some developpers thousands of kilometer from here. Chances
are i'll ask them to handle some Pike code someday. I'll ask them to
install the Pike eclipse plugin, say PDT.
The problem is that they'll already have a PHP plugin. Guess the name?
(Hint: PHP Development Tools).
I don't feel the need to fuck up with an eclipse plugin name collision
thousands of kilometers away.
