I agree that it was vastly overblown in importance and was mostly the usual token "somebody must do something" thing with no practical meaning.

But I also think that repeatedly ranting about it now, when the transition has largely already happened, is equally a waste of time. Me, I just use "main" going forward for the reasons I listed above.

No it hasn't. Run `git init; git status` and see what the branch name is.

I would say about 60% of the repos I use still use `master`. I think Git will be replaced before we have 100% `main`.
