The objections were raised by a programmer cum hacker and his opinion does carry weight if it helps improvise and simplify the target software.
End Users indeed are concerned. May be not with the name, rather with the deployment. When we build and distribute Desktop Applications, end users assume that they can just install the application through a setup file and its done. When they want a backup, they just need to click on a "Backup Menu Item" and enter the "Save As" file name.
These are the perspectives of end users. Now it doesnt matter if we use My-SQl or any other DB, the users are concerned with ease to deploy....
I am an end user of a lot of software. I do not care how difficult it is to deploy. My criterion is that it should work and work well. That is, it should do what I want it to do.
Difficulty in deployment gets prominent when recovering crashed systems or performing some rescue operation.
