I'm thinking about mailing a dead fish to Microsoft HQ for every time I see the term CLI used on a web page and it's the .NET thing and not the should-have-been-well-known--to-them-already abbreviation for command line interface. And don't get me started on the names .NET or C# either (sharp? really? when serious programmers/sysadmins already would have expected hash or pound? really?!).

Other than that, good article. Nice little survey and perspective.

Pretty silly to expect exclusivity on three-letter acronyms. There are only so many of them to go around.

(If "serious programmers/sysadmins" are such dull people as to be taken aback by cultural references to anything outside their jobs, so much the worse for them!)
