better_launch: a replacement for the ROS2 launch system - intuitive, simple, memorable

Great work! In the repo, I checked the “Why not improve the existing ROS2 launch?”. Is it really not possible? I would love to use better_launch, but even the name is already adding some confusion. That’s the same feeling I had with catkin_simple and now with ament_auto. It feels to me that it should be the other way around. The “better”, “simple”, and “auto” should be the standard, and manual options should be used in specific cases… What has been the feedback from maintainers of the launch system so far?
