I haven't really looked into the debate for changing GIMP's name, but I certainly agree that other brand names would fit this project better. Glimpse, a name for a now-gone fork of it, would be perfect, but I'd be interested if they come up with other names, such as:
- GNOME Touchups (in-line with the simple namings of other GTK4-based apps)
- Picrevise/Imadjust, which sound quite a bit silly, but are unique and convey well GIMP's role as an image editor
I guess the thing, though, is that GIMP doesn't want the risk of ditching their brand with a worse one, and that it feels that the debate for name change isn't well-known outside Fedi (On Bluesky, I mostly get results just talking about the program (after scrolling through the hornyposting and AI vomit)). :neofox_think:
