Gimp really ought to rebrand myself. I mean come on, who wants to use a program with that name? Even IMP is a hundred times better and lends itself to some impish branding assets.
- dathinab 2y agofor non native English speakers this often isn't an issue as the English word gimp is rarely used, so there is a good chance to more associate it with the software then the meaning behind the word.
- keiferski 2y agoIt’s a terrible name, period. A substandard piece of software already has enough issues with marketing itself. Naming it with a word that means “cripple”, no matter how often it is used, is just such a poor decision that it’s not really surprising that no one cares about the app.
- EasyMark 2y agoYeah I would love for them to change the name. I always wince when talking about it to someone who doesn’t know what it is. I have fallen back to “GNU Image”with some crowds :)
- zelphirkalt 2y agoProbably no one who really needed it would care abouy the name.
