This is no different from the apple ecosystem. Their programming is filled with so many jargons (talking of desktop UI development here)

It is different, though. In Apple-world, when you say "XCode," you mean a very specific thing. They don't have "XCode" the IDE for Macs and then also a bunch of completely different products running on different OSes that work completely differently, which all also happen to be named "XCode."

Microsoft's inability to understand how branding works is longstanding and legendary.

No idea you might be right but I have no problem navigating in Ruby/Go/JavaScript ecosystems. While with MS I have the feeling they produce new tech and new names every week.

Seems mostly a matter of getting used to it. What's a 'gem'? And a 'bundler'? A rake, a rack, a rail, a tilt, a merb?

Make sure to browserify your webpack, take a moment, don't react, have a mocha before, gulp, bowser comes to get you. Wait no, it's fine, it's just bower.

They're all named pretty differently though.

I mean it's not like they're all called "XCode [something]".
