I would also prefer nouns, but just “Schematic”, “PCB Design”, “Footprint Libraries”, “Gerber Viewer”. The most common complaint I’ve heard from people who tried KiCad some time ago is how it is a bunch a separate programs barely held together. With cross probing and many other improvements that really hasn’t been an issue for some time. But I think it’s better not to give people the wrong impression about the number one complaint on the net, by showing them all the internal names as the first thing they see 
I’m going to link my post that didn’t get split here about changing the layout based on whether a project is loaded or not: My Current Take on the New V6 Icons
I think that’d much friendlier than showing a message box after clicking on “Schematic”.
