Here's a great example of the snootiness, and complete lack of "getting it", of Gnome/systemd people, and why so many people are at odds with them. Tons of people commented on this bug: how asinine it was that --title was removed. The workarounds are ok if you're interactive *in* the window, but what if you want to launch a bunch of windows from a script, and have each one named?
Who are the people being l33t here???
At least (for the first time I can remember when watching the dealings of these people), the "old fart" "unix admins" get their way.

client: legacy: Reimplement deprecated --title option
This reverts commit 0033eca2909ddccf3358c1f089bce05d3473b123.
Reimplement the deprecated --title client option. It seems it is absolutely required by all those super l33t unix admins that are above using a lowly command like printf(1) or the even simpler xtermcontrol(1).
