Love gimp and happy to see new releases. I wish they would change the name.

  > I wish they would change the name. It's time to pick a name that's not offensive. Far more than the UI, this has hurt the project more than its contributors can imagine. I've given up evangelizing it because of responses I've gotten to the name. Like, call it "Imp". Short, cute, and the icon/mascot practically draws itself. It's not rocket surgery.

    There's a recent project called Glimpse that is a fork of GIMP, with some additional objectives beside the name change. https://glimpse-editor.github.io/ https://glimpse-editor.github.io/

      That changes everything, thank you! <bow>

  I wonder what the overlap is between people who screamed "if you don't like the name, fork it!" for 20+ years and people who lost it over Glimpse doing exactly that.
