I think most of us can agree that the name of the @GIMP project is a terrible name. I can't speak for the developers of the project, but I bet some of them think the name sucks, too. And, I think, what most of us can agree on is that even though the name is terrible, it's an awesome Open Source project. Can we focus on what the latest 3.0 release will bring us instead of every other comment being, "The name sucks!"?
With all of this said, THE NAME SUCKS! There! I got it out of my system. Now, I'm off to download 3.0.
