Comment (by xkon):

 `Homepage` as I remember was always a 'thing' for calling the index and
 I've never personally used a space or dash in there. Way long before
 'companies' accepted it so it became more popular than 'home page' or
 `front page` etc.

 I understand the correct way of spelling things but the Web has it's own
 ways even if dictionaries aren't updated. So when we're talking about web
 stuff I'll always use ( let's call it ) web slang, accepted or not I don't
 care/mind personally.

 For example as @netweb mentioned the `front end` I've never heard a
 'simple' fellow saying that at least not in Greece. That's something that
 only Devs use here. Simple users will instead of `front end, back end` go
 for `website & admin`...

 That being said I'd go for `Homepage` ( but that's a personal preference
 ).

 Also it has nothing to do with the theme building process. I'm making or
 editing a new theme every week and I'm always getting confused on that
 part no matter how many times I've done it but that's when I'm looking at
 the files not when I'm inside the admin panel :D . Most simple users won't
 even go near the files to get confused by this simple change.

 Just my 2c as it was mentioned on the last #core devchat ( see? it's
 devchat , not dev chat :P ).
