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?


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.
