Klipper uses step_distance instead of steps_per_mm in order to use consistent units of measurement in the config file. (The config uses millimeters for all distance measurements.) It is believed that -steps_per_mm originates from a micro-optimization on old 8-bit +steps_per_mm originated as an optimization on old 8-bit micro-controllers (the desire to use a multiply instead of a divide in some low-level code). Continuing to configure this one distance in units of "inverse millimeters" is felt to be quirky and unnecessary.
