MODERATORS
As a software dev, any code library named SimpleWhatever or whose documentation contains the word "simply" anywhere makes me afraid.
Because they never are. They are a sign that whoever makes them thinks the subject is too hard to understand.
The end result is a code library that doesn't make the inherent important hard parts organized and clear to work with, but obfuscates them.
The exception is if the same dev makes a variant that is not simple. Like if the same guy makes SimpleWidget, AdvancedWidget, and WizardWidget the simple one is probably actually pretty simple
Another exception is when the dev understands the subject too well in a way that distorts their view of what's simple for them and for every one else.
Or, it started as an actual simple library that everyone used so the dev kept adding things and it ended up as a huge thing that stopped being simple long ago, but the dev never updated the name.
If any of you have worked in software dev long enough you know 1 or 2 examples of these two cases :)
