Ah, so much this! Why do all these new utils not come with a man page? :(


They tend to have the most random names, too. Name after purpose would be good.

That used to be a lot easier when there was not that many tools out there. How many watch alternatives are there by now and how would you name them? watch, watchng, watch2?


Is it really hard to think for a few minutes and you could get a name from a word like "observe" instead?
