I can't tell if they're just bad with names, or if it's become some running joke but all kde software has stupid names

kid3 is a neat name. It is a KDE program for editing ID3 tags of audio files.

Calling a file manager Dolphin is a particularly bad one.

Not only is it just a bad name for a file manager, it breaks the k-prefix name convention (which is also a bad convention imo)

I mean I can guess how they got there. Shell led to Nautilus, and then they thought their shell should be named after another sea creature?

The seems like classic imitator product naming really.

It's not and never was a shell; Plasma is.

Could be worse - it could be named 'Files'. Good luck searching for help...

"KDE Files" - done

Apple, Google and Samsung have done it, why not KDE?

Apple's graphical shell is called Finder unless they renamed it for some reason.

On iOS the file manager is called Files.

Calling the Files app a "file manager" is being extremely generous

there is a program by KDE called Kile, but it's not what you think - it's a LaTeX suite

Is it worse than "Konqueror" or "Krusader"? Regardless, I don't see what's so bad about "Dolphin," it seems just as good as Nautilus, Nemo, Thunar, Finder, Midnight Commander, Caja, Ranger,...

That's an internet browser, right? Surely nobody would make two different applications and give them the same name.

Internet Explorer is the browser, Explorer is the file manager. Not that Microsoft has made it confusing </s>
