Serious question. We had a perfectly serviceable word, yet everyone decided to shift. Is it just that it’s shorter to type?

If so, I feel for your colleagues trying to parse your code when all your variables use abbreviations.

    For me apps are things that are fullscreen-only (on phones, Windows 8 apps, GNOME 3+), while programs are small CLI things or complex ones with discoverable GUIs where you have more control over the UI and placement.

    Don’t know what tiling window systems would make programs by the above definition.
