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?
Anyone who tried to bring GIMP into nonprofits and schools dealt with this problem. I cannot explain how many uncomfortable conversations I had with non-technical people.
And the defenders will continue to say GIMP's name is fine and still be shocked of the low adoption rate.
That has to be a US thing there's no way anyone else is like that.
I work for a pretty button-down organisation and frankly they're ridiculously obsessive about corporate stuff but even they wouldn't blink at Gimp.
