ABC are variables, but XYZ are coordinates. XYZ gives you a space to work in, but you never know what ABC are up to.

    Everyone knows ABC, but unfortunately, familiarity breeds contempt. XYZ are edgy, angular and never go home alone.

    ABC implies there are D through to Z

    While XYZ is a 3 point plan because nothing is after Z

    Because ABC sounds like a kids song, but XYZ sounds like tech-bros. While notorious for poor financial decisions, they definitely understand marketing.

    X is unknown, XYZ are also used for co-ordinates.

    ABC is the start of teaching the alphabet to kids

    ABC implies you only know 3 letters

    XYZ is cooler since you know more letters

    Also ABC sounds like the term for American-Born Chinese, which is very uncool imo since they only know 1 language. Whereas me on the other hand spending my first 8 years in Mainland China, I knows more than 1 language, which is way cooler (/kidding xD I barely know past 2nd grade level)

    X factor.

    Also, who wants to alpha or beta test products? I'll take the finished iterations, thank you.

    A, B, and C are commonly used letters. X, Y, and Z are rarer

    Because we like feeling like we use all of our letters equally. If ABC is used for lists we use XYZ for unknown variables

    I think generation alpha sounds cooler than generation y. Gen X and Z are pretty cool too though.

    Abstract Base Classes just remind people of Java lasagna code. Whereas XYZ is inseparable from Hilary Putnam's water analogue in his famous Twin Earth thought experiment.

    ABC is for destinations
    IJK is for numbers/counters
    XYZ is for objects/brands
