I don't understand why there are many negative comments in this thread to this project. I've used Carbon many times to paste good-looking code in a PowerPoint presentation, and the result is clean and attractive. Big thank you to the people behind it.

To be fair, a lot of the criticism is constructive in nature (not all of it, of course). Personally, I'd prefer that to pats-on-the-back.

This is because sacred "carbon" word used outside climate hoax scope. Hence the negative reaction from radical environmentalists (we've got an infestation here).
