I dunno, I always found `git blame` really funny yet at the same time, I empathize with those who are a little taken aback by it (including... what's the company's name who makes IDEs who calls it "annotate"... ?).
I largely love it because most of the time when I `blame`, that's exactly what I want to do. I don't need software to give me a nicer verb so I can pretend that's not what I'm actually doing.
And most of the time, the author is exactly who I thought it was going to be (which can result in jovial convos) or, more commonly, ITS ME! Oh, the humility. I guess I can see it being a problem if you work on a toxic team (shit, sorry) and yes, I do understand desire for a sheen of positivity in the language of the software we use, but pretty much every of the time I go to call `git blame`, I mean `git BLAME`. While it certainly does happen, I rarely find myself thinking, "Who wrote this amazing code!?? I MUST KNOW!!!" and in those circumstances, it actually soothes my ego to "blame" them for it :D
