I guess it stands out. "Git" is similar. "Rust" isn't a very positive word either. Perhaps it's a new trend. Maybe the answer is "all the good names have been taken" and/or they are simply lazy.

Neither is as negative. This sort of name is more like Gimp.
It is definitely a lot less negative than Nimrod (which is actually positive in origin - but Americans do not get biblical references) which changed its name.
You can also get away with a lot more if you are Linux Torvalds or Mozilla.
