“And Scrot begot Gscrot (GtkScreenShot), a point and
click GUI for that command line and still the word was not good. I
could never quite say it without imagining that it killed most of
my ancestors in the great Scrot plague of 1392 by attacking parts
of their anatomy that cannot be mentioned in polite society.
Finally, in their wisdom, Gscrot became Shutter and the developers
saw that it was good. At last, a name that reflected what it might
actually do and you could mention it in front of your maiden Aunt
too. A good start and it only gets better. Much better.“Giving your software a good name however will not guarantee
that it’s any damn good. A Citroen 2CV is still a minger even
with a rampant Ferrari horse on the bonnet but with that rebadging
the developers of Shutter do not flatter to deceive. It is the real
McCoy, the goods. By the end of this article I hope you will agree
that calling Shutter a mere screenshot utility is like calling the
QE2 a rowing boat.”
