[Qgis-community-team] Renaming Style Manager?

[Delaz J]

Hi Anita, all

The inconsistent use of the word "style" is indeed an issue and 
confusing. It was raised years ago in 
https://github.com/qgis/qgis3_UIX_discussion/issues/16 (and probably in 
QGIS repo but hard to find) with an attempt of fix at 
https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/2765 (you'll find some answers to your 
suggestion of symbol manager).

Maybe the time has come for the cleanup...?

Regards,

Harrissou
