    Description

      While 'Qt Designer' is a very well established name, it does still confuse new users, as there is also Qt Design Studio.

      For 'Qt Designer', we could just rename it to 'Qt Widgets Designer'. Things to consider

      • Renaming in documentation
        (should be fairly easy as most documentation uses \qd macro)
      • Update references on www.qt.io
      • ???

      Binary names etc should not be touched.
