I completely agree :) There's a portion of this that is tongue in cheek, and I doubt we will actually change Framey (our own site which uses Lobster in the logo) at this point.

Really, I just wanted to raise it in people's consciousness so it's a consideration when you're choosing the font for your next project.

I think we're right at the threshold where powerusers (and tech blog authors) will start seeing Lobster and think "Ah. generic startup font. This was thrown together in a weekend."

Sometimes that's just fine, but it's not always what you want your wordmark to communicate.
