Gimp is horrible branding and should be renamed.
Pretty much anyone outside Western area will think GIMP as cool branding, or at least neutral.
Let's remember that language is diverse and even English itself is different between area.
If Indian English or Singaporean English speaker force every English speaker to adhere to their standard, everyone would be mad.
I disagree. It's memorable and cool, and a great program.
Maybe 30 to 70% agree with you. Maybe 15 to 35 percent do not care.
Whatever came out of the renamed fork? I can't even remember the name they chose.
The name was glimpse, if I recall correctly.
I think it was abandoned.. but I'm not certain.
I tried to look that up 4 or 7 months ago about.
