FooKit is an interesting social phenomenon. It reflects the increasing influence of Mac OS X on free software developers. Everything in Mac OS X is called SomethingKit. DeviceKit, WebKit, whatever.

It used to be that Win32 weighed more heavily on the minds of free software. That's why you got HAL, a name directly taken from Windows NT.
