    I have problems explaining to one of my friends that I believe
    using the same names as in GoF are more user-friendly, rather than
    making up new _user_friendly_ names for old patterns.

    Our discussion are about visitor design pattern:
    I want to stick with 'accept'.
    My friend wants a more _user_friendly_ name 'visit_with'.

    You can read our conversation here:

    I believe using _standard_ names in design patterns are most user
    friendly. What are your opinions on this subject?

    What should I tell my friend?
