 @jrm4 @mathew I think the name was the least of Gimps problems. Especially considering there are many countries which do not speak English and where no one even knows what a gimp is. Here in Germany it was a hard sell to get people to use Gimp over photoshop because for a very long time the interface was too weird for the artist. No one ever even mentioned the name. Because no one knew what it meant. But they knew the UI was too different. Seconded. Also IMP would be just fine too. Anyway, its amazing now, and it smells just as sweet as any other rose. |

I always hear the "git" counter, but nah for many reasons
"git" isn't as known to be slurrish, and version control is more "insider"
Tech OUTSIDERS, artists and teachers and kids etc -- were the ostensible target here. And I, as a sort of ambassador type, can't be here trying to say "I know it's called GIMP but trust me its good and your middle schoolers can use it" to e.g. teachers
nice try though
