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.
