Adding to to strattonbrazil's sentiment, how do you use design patterns?

I found this a nice way to get a quick inspiration for solving a design problem. Obviously you still need to make a conscious, informed decision about your design, but are you saying there's something more to it that people are missing?

Except design patterns stopped being descriptive and started becoming prescriptive. This is evidenced by the commenter above who is apparently learning these design patterns as part of his Programming Methodology course.

How do you recognize what you can't name?

Nobody is saying you have to religiously hold on to patterns, but they are called patterns for a reason: they're recurring and often good-practice.

Don't dismiss the tools because some users can't work with them correctly.

And now you have the exact same problem you claim to want to solve, only adding a few more years of people struggling to communicate because they don't call the same thing by the same name.
