I don't agree nor disagree since I've never heard that word used for anything else than the software. But by this logic, we should also rename git

  Git is not without issues, but it's not as bad as this word. There are two common ways to see gimp beyond what its defenders put forward: 1: A kink thing. 2: What the kink is based on: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/gimp https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/gimp -> https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/cripple https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/cripple Neither one is great for adoption. >> "I've never heard that word used for anything else than the software." There are a lot of words I didn't know were common slurs, or at least inaccurate or otherwise not okay until someone told me. For example: Eskimo (colonist nonsense), Gypsy (name given to Romani people based on mistaken belief they came from Egypt), Indian (some native people use it, but not all). Learning is great.
