I blame npm and the entire JavaScript ecosystem for promulgating the awful, sleazy-used-car-saleman practice of writing your readme in the form of advertising copy.


I would have thought this traces back to GitHub making your readme the defacto "landing page" for your project?


That may be right. I want to blame JavaScript though. :(


I suppose this is it. I just find it irritating when project descriptions don't clearly distinguish what they hope to eventually be from what they currently are.
