When I built the Q Platform originally, I put so much work into it, but showing it to people I mostly got one piece of feedback without them even looking: "it's called Q... and there is a library for promises called Q that is way more popular. Rename yours."
I tried to explain that it was a completely different field, and that this was a web development framework. And that we had started ours way before this library for promises. But people told me I was foolish, and refused to look at it. I think it was here on HN somewhere around 2012 or so.
Well, promises are now native in browsers and no one remembers the Q library. But I did rename our library to "Qbix". I wish though that I hadn't listened to them... things come and go, just do name it what you like!
