I think removing a joke to be considered as corporate is a bit exaggerated.

It's okay to have "fun". I consider a software more corporate when it has a large website with dozen of MB of Javascript, analytics, XML documentation, ten automatic bots with CI checking every part of a merge request and a contributing guide larger than the whole got documentation to be more corporate than a clean and simple UX without jokes.

Remember: a clean UX should present output only when necessary. This is exactly where I prefer a lot hg status than git status for example.
