Agreed. I read through the whole site and never saw the word "graph" until I came back and read this comment which puts me a bit on edge. Seems like a good idea, but when the marketing seems to imply a purpose defined via shotgun approach, I start to get wary of a possible hype machine.

Other than a few contributors, it is basically just me. But I'm hiring! (We're funded).

So TBH, I kinda have to try doing the hypemachine thing to get the word out. :( Does that make me evil?

Hype and marketing can be great! It's empty hype with nothing to back it up that worries me. I don't think that's Gun, but the "throw buzz word" style marketing (especially if there are contradictions) instantly puts me on guard. If Gun solves a problem, then by all means get the word out about it any way you can!
