For every person who passed on EdgeDB on the suspicion it was related to edge computing, someone may have clicked it for the same reason entirely and found something else compelling.

Personally I think EdgeDB was a much better and descriptive name than Gel. I haven't used EdgeDB/Gel yet, but have been looking at it with excitement for years now waiting for the opportunity to use it.

I am worried that the rename will work against you since you've built such an excellent brand around EdgeDB with so many glowing testimonials.
