And you're absolutely entitled to. I have no problem with anyone choosing to stick with "master", provided they have no issue with me preferring "main".

But I do have an issue with you preferring `main`. It means I have the constant annoyance of remembering whether a project uses `main` or `master`.

It's not a big annoyance but it is an especially painful one because it didn't used to exist and it was deliberately introduced for completely bullshit reasons.
