I've just encountered the tag lightroom. The question using it makes pretty clear what it stands for: Alternative to Adobe Photoshop Lightroom?
My point here is: Should we support tags for a specific product? Or should we rather remove them from their questions, so they get cleaned up by the automated maintenance?
Same question applies to manufacturer tags. Current example: samsung
Yes, sure, there can be tags for specific products, such as windows or vim. These tags are about finding software that interacts with that product: a program that runs on Windows, a Vim plugin. The X tag does not mean “alternative for X”.
lightroom (better worded as adobe-lightroom) would be a fine tag for an Adobe Lightroom plugin request. On a question looking for an alternative, it is not appropriate. samsung on Cell phone emulation to capture screen action? is appropriate in this sense, but it is just too vague to be meaningful.
No. We are not experts in recommending software similar to Lightroom, but image editors (which would be a good tag). Nor we are supposed to be experts in software that can be used with samsung but software to emulate different kind of stuff (the question ask for emulators). So yeah, tags representing manufacturers or end-products should not be allowed and instead use the kind of software you want like "emulator" or "photography editor" or "image editors" or "vector editor", etc.
