The new naming might lead to some confusion, but I don't think that it would go as far as someone buying the wrong program. The Flex Builder is a $200+ program, people would probably try the trial version on their machine (to at least see if it works) before they buy the application.

You should also remember that the Flex Framework would still be called the same thing, so you should still be able to search for “Flex” and find the thing you are searching for.

Two problems with this:
1. ppl without programming ability buying flash builder and not understanding what they got.
2. When your coding in AS3 it makes a difference which of the two products your using. And searching for answers to flex specific problems will become harder. As it is now its easier to find flex information if your also looking for info on FlashDevelop.

This is a bad move on the part of Adobe.
