I know the internet is a place where tone doesn't really come across, but I'm just poking a little fun, not trying to be critical, since I'm not really invested one way or the other. In fact, if anything, it behooves me as an active participant in the Angular community not to pick fights & make enemies (hi, atjoslin!). :-)
That's probably why this happens so often.
So often?
People are being overly critical of atjoslin, given that he admitted in his edit that his intentions were not foul.
Well, maybe not-foul intentions are a high enough bar, but I think good intentions might look something like taking the extra half-hour (as an author/maintainer of numerous OS projects, I know it doesn't take that long) to find a slightly less-similar name. As this is a new project, I can't imagine the impact on your (checks GitHub, sees 31 stars & 4 watchers) community will be all that substantial.
Again, I have no particular investment here (okay, okay, technically I have 2 HN comments-worth of investment, so that adds up to... wait, yup, basically nothing). This is just a little friendly advice, and worth what you paid for it.
