Specifically, some functions use *-open-file(s), while others use *-find-file. Functions such as eww-open-file and recentf-open-files use 'open-file' or 'open-files' in their naming. In contrast, many other functions, including dired-find-file, find-file, project-find-file, and ido-find-file, use the 'find-file' format. I am curious about the rationale behind this difference. Is there a specific reason that some functions prefer 'open-file' over 'find-file' even though they seem to perform similar actions?

I think just personal preferences of whoever implemented these functions, and the many years that passed between the "find" names were introduced and the time the "open" names weer introduced.

Thank you for clarifying. I had wrongly assumed that "find-file" might be the standard, as those seemed to have been introduced first.
