Similar is when you start GIMP instead of Abiword.
They both editors, after all, and have some picture in a menu.
It's a mess. You got to watch what to click. ;-) 

It is even worse with OpenOffice. Everything is OpenOffice.

I've seen people trying synonyms, or typing something, anything, and expecting 
that computer will magically guess what they want.

Not that openSUSE kickoff couldn't have 2 incarnations, for each KDE one, but 
people would find reason to complain anyway.
