Really? Discussing the GoF design patterns by name seems to be prevalent amongst the programmers I know (yourself excluded of course...).

Ah? I still haven't understood what "Gang of Four" is supposed to be, however. Is it a design pattern?

Besides, saying "I use the strategy design pattern" doesn't tell a lot, while an ad hoc description is much more informational (witness Martin's explanation for example).

It's like those frameworks who have a class simply named "Factory" ;)

Antoine.
