 Tor, and talked friends out of it too.
 The term "hidden services" damaged the Tor Project branding so much
 because of all the fake news and clickbait around it. Onion services sound
 much more innocent and would help Tor Project branding. (Remember the more
 the fake news creates FUD about "hidden services" the more difficult life
 is for Tor and the Tor branding)

 I don't see why this move sounds negative to you.
