Doesn't matter what the name is, as long as people remember it. Trust me, the name "GIMP" is not what's holding their project up. It's competition with Adobe and the likes.
However it's great that they're making gradual progress. I've used Gimp for years.
- th0ma5 2y agoRhetorically speaking here, would you object if the name literally was SGT_Cant_Say_Anything_Smart ? If they did this it would certainly be memorable.
- opan 2y agoThat name reminds me of PUBG and Proton-GE (specifically the GE part). Both awkwardly named after one person's internet handle. If sufficiently shortened, and ideally also pronounceable, I think it can work. With that in mind, "CSAS" might not be the best, though maybe people could pronounce it "Sergeant Sea-Sass". Then the biggest problem I see is the # of syllables, but if you've already established context, you could probably shorten it further in subsequent usage to "Sea-Sass" or CSAS only, which is only about as bad as "LDAP".
