It's a retro name. It hearkens back to a time when software was fast and started up instantly, despite running on hardware orders of magnitude slower than we have now.
WordPerfect was a huge monster, probably one of the largest (15+ diskettes) and sluggishiest DOS apps I had back in the day.
Windows 95 was cool, but also a significant step back on snappiness compared to 3.11 or even OS/2 Warp.
There are probably much better retro-snappy names, like, don't know, CodeKick 1-2-3?
