in time they started to substitute the application names in the startup
menu with kind of generic explanations for those applications, e.g. "Rip
Audio-CDs" instead of "Soundjuicer". It really confused me.

Actually, I appreciate this change. I think when you first see the name one should associate something with the name. Soundjuicer is a good name if you know what the program does, but I can remember that I aspect a sound edit program or something like that instead of a ripper (but soundjuicer is not that beside the point). CDex is an example for a very short but still expressive name, picasa would be very nice if it would be a paint program ;-)
