"gedit Text Editor" is worse than "Text Editor (gedit)" and this is
still worse than Gnome (former?) philosophy of not cluttering people's
desktop. I suspect there are other solutions to the issue why they
wanted to change naming in the first place.

For instance, why not leave the name "Text Editor" (actually this should
point to a text editor of choice, defaulted to gedit, selected in System
> Preferences) and have the tooltip appear as "Edit text files with
gedit"?

Indeed, for me, implementing the "[app lower case] [friendly name]"
naming scheme is to go back to the dark ages.
