linux developers actually wanted you to read a file name and know what it does

Totally agree with that. Whereas windows users usually complain that Linux packages supposedly have stupid and obscure names, they don't care if the system files are recognizable or not. They just want you to know what programs do, not more.. One complaint I heard was: "Who wants programs called XMMS? Linux Media Player would be a much better name.."
