"beautiful", "elegant", and "tasteful" have all been used to puff up various libraries, frameworks, etc, and now we have "luxurious" to add to the long list of ridiculous adjectives used to puff up tech. Lovely.

Honestly it makes me roll my eyes, "let's describe our software utility as if we're trapped in a perfume commercial". But on the other hand, I think when creating something it does help to have underlying vision, even if it's abstract or doesn't quite make sense.
I think that is why despite it being eye roll inducing, there is still value to these descriptors as it explains what they are going for. In this case it tells us they are prioritizing the feel over everything else and for a package manager that is pretty solid focus.
I have always thought that those qualities should be shown, not said. Both in software and in life.
