SUMMARY There is a standard for shortcut (which is the default on KDE): Win+E which opens file Explorer and KDE has a confusing name for file Explorer which starts with D (D as in '(show) Desktop'). There should be a change and Dolphin should be renamed to Explorer as not to confuse users and to conform to well established standards (ie. shortcut). Expected result: 1. Renaming Dolphin to Explorer as Dolphin is not a standard name and confuses users 2. Keeping the standard shortcut of Win+E (E as in Explorer, for file Explorer), where KDE already conforms to this standard shorcut. 3. Win+E will open (file) Explorer and this will not confuse users by opening some "aquapark feeding time software thing" named Dolphin.
We're not trying to copy Windows, and we're not going to re-brand our own apps to copy the name of competing software on a different platform. Sorry. :)
Win+E is a standard shortcut that is used by KDE. So its a logigal to conform to this standard.

It will be confusing (and boring) if every desktop environment names their default file manager "Explorer". Imagine Thunar, GNOME Files (Nautilus), PCManFM and Dolphin being renamed to "(DE's name) Explorer".
