Honest to gods, this conversation happened today, and it may have cost me a job opportunity. The customer was super impressed with my menu design and animation, and wanted to know who we got it from. When I said I did it, their face lit up! Too bad as soon as i said GIMP, they weren't interested anymore. Has anyone else experienced this? What do you say in similar situations?
How hard would it be to fork it, and just change the name?
There's been at least one attempt: https://www.theregister.com/2019/08/28/gimp_open_source_image_editor_forked_to_fix_problematic_name/
I believe that project died.
It did. Neither their website nor the github project page exist anymore.

I wish they’d upstream including the name.
This doesn't inspire much confidence in me that the project will see much regular enhancement and development.
Thanks for the link, the name is many times better, I wonder whether they improved the interface.
That's the most generic name I've ever heard.
Why not "TwoWords"? Same pattern, but honest.
