I wish the whole project was a little bit more clever with its names. Matrix and Element are not unique enough names and can cause a lot of confusion.

I like the project though and still hope it continues to succeed.

see it this way: shite names that are just an actual thing that's symbolically related in some way is a sign that the project is primarily run by programmers and not PR people.

Yes, the generic names make it a nightmare to search for things relating to them.
