The name that immediately claims that their software sucks? I get where you are coming from, but you're just labeling the average software with a different term.

It very very clearly implies that other software sucks and theirs sucks less. If there would be any ambiguity in this they explicitly bash genetic "other hackers" all throughout their philosophy page. It's not exactly subtle.

And most other software implies their software is better than others. Why is calling it "less bad" somehow worse?
