I wonder how much this matters to other developers –

but I, at least subconsciously, when faced with a library choice, take into account things like:

- Simple, pretty name (Alamofire is very nice-sounding and memorable – even feels like overkill, author should've saved it for an iPhone app or something.)

- The pretty logo

- The perfect use of Markdown (I'm so obsessed about using `` around everything that looks like code it feels like a psychological condition)

- Clear structure of README

- Simple examples with syntax highlighting

There must be correlation between the presentation and quality of the source code!

There isn't.

The overlap is relatively small between:

- People who are great at writing software.

- People who are great at designing logos and quality of presentation (or have someone on staff that is).
