Comment:

 We are running out of synonyms in American English. 😅

 What I originally liked about "Site Editor" is that it sounds like a
 tangible place and tool; like a Photo Editor or a Code Editor, a Site
 Editor is the place I go to

 Juxtaposed to the actions/verbs of "Edit Site" or "Edit Design", which are
 unintentionally ambiguous (to me); what aspects of the Site or Design will
 I be editing (especially as a Super Admin with all kinds of access to
 things, which this ticket aims specifically at).

 ----

 If we are considering revising this (which I am not opposed to), here are
 my alternative suggestions:

 Inspired by the admin area menu name hierarchy: Appearance > Editor:
 * Appearance Editor
 * Edit Appearance

 Inspired by `site-editor.php`'s `h1` tag contents: Design:
 * Design Editor
 * Edit Design

 Because so much of WordPress is now inconsistent in look & feel, it
 becomes even more important that terminology stay consistent when sending
 users between them. If the interface is new, the words on the new pages
 should match-up with what they clicked, as a way to cross-check & confirm
 that they are where they wanted to be.
