Remember, renaming costs money and is a lot of work that the team might prefer to invest in the product.
Should gimp be renamed? Probably.
Do I want to take on the work and the costs? Definitely not.

@supertobi @piratenpanda @mxjaygrant @GIMP They aren't open to changing the name. If they were and actually said we want to but we need to do such and such and it costs money they would actually get support to help. Right now they are just being obtuse.

@rawrmonstar @supertobi @piratenpanda @mxjaygrant @GIMP For what it's worth, this issue was discussed during a team meet-up in the last few years: developer.gimp.org/conferences

It's one of the many things that developers want to come back to, after we recover from the 3.0 release.

@CmykStudent @supertobi @piratenpanda @mxjaygrant @GIMP y’all might want to update the FAQ if it’s an actual possibility! Based off of that it sounds less like “its difficult to change such an old name” to “we won’t change it and in fact it’s for some principled reason”

@rawrmonstar @CmykStudent @supertobi @piratenpanda @mxjaygrant@triangletoot. Thanks.. It’s on the agenda to discuss, which would include the practicalities. As the individual (@barefootliam) responding in this message, i’ll say ii hadn’t noticed that FAQ comment before today and will suggest changing it, if whoever wrote it isn’t too wedded to it. We have parts of the Web site going back almost 30 years!
