hey man, I get it, we're using fancy words

But we're real people working on a real protocol that we feel improves on the status quo, and calling it 'trash' because it doesn't fit your vernacular is unnecessary, and dare I say hurtful

So pls, if you have feedback, happy to improve on it, but don't just dismiss it

But there is a grain of truth to their commentary. "Modern" gets old fast, it probably shouldn't be used, just like "new" shouldn't be used in project/library names.

IMHO, removing "modern, flexible and scalable" would improve that line.

I've diagonally read through the README, and for my taste there is overuse of "soft" adjectives (simple, easy, ...) which makes me (an engineer) discard it as marketing-driven.
