Maybe it's my culture. I think of master as the "master of kung-fu/art/sword/". Something or someone that have earned respect and is at the core of it's field.

Yes, I entirely agree. A masterpiece, or mastering an art, or more relevant to software branches: master tapes. None of these imply any sort of subjugation etc..

But... that's just about the word "master". I do think there are other terms that it's a good idea to migrate away from.
