The K and G before the app can sometimes be annoying, but for people looking for a desktop that (visually) rivals Windows surely unified looks is a big thing.
Some apps have more than one client depending on what widget set you want to use, This perhaps should be done within one executable (perhaps an argument should be automatically passed saying the widget set preference, or something).
I'm a KDE user, so I know that if I install a k* or qt* app it should fit in with the whole look of KDE. likewise, a Gnome user will know that G*, Gnome* and (to a lesser extent) Gnu* apps will look the same as every other Gnome app.
I admit, other forms of standardisation should settled on, but what would you prefer... eg. Kpat and Gpat, or one named pat and one named patience? which would be which?
