I think the name got mentioned in this thread: Applet was the name already used in the C++ world, see [1]. So for anyone doing porting from a C++ applet to a QML applet, the name Applet will be more reasonable. Personally I think Applet is a way better name as it is more generic and people know what is meant with it, but Plasmoid is a domain specific name people have to know. In the same way I went for Switcher in KWin although our internal name is TabBox. The one is generic the other is domain specific (and yes my QML code was first TabBox, then I thought about it and renamed all of it). Of course Plasma already uses the name plasmoid in the API and honestly I think that this is a mistake in the API.
