Today’s question is almost plain text only.

X is a software written by this extremely famous guy Y. Y jokes that X is named after himself, just like the other really famous piece of software he has authored. Identify X and Y.

Here is the logo of X

Y got really frustrated with existing software which did the kind of job X does, thus he created Y. Here is a hint to the class of software we are talking about here

p.s. Apologies for the delay. The question will be up 12hrs longer
