Well, this has been discussed over and over, and again recently before
the release of version 2.0.0 and the overhaul of the website.

The compromise was to rename the website (now kst-plot.kde.org) and
improve the communication/visibility of the project, but keep the name
which is known to quite some people, short and easy to type.

In the end we may hope that the quality of the product and the community
around it will help get over this light hurdle of a not-so-clear name.
The trend seems good, download figures are growing steadily. Kst 2.x is
becoming really good and is now distributed on all major platforms, and
the website has been largely improved.  
If you are interested in contributing (in whichever form, from website
to bug reports to code) just don't hesitate!
