While all other credible opensource projects are gaining ground in a

instant derogatory impact of the name.
First of all, it's called "GIMP", not "the GIMP".
Then, can you proove your claim? I very much doubt that you can because
it's just FUD. For most people on this planet, GIMP doesn't have any
special meaning.
Yeah, total disagreement on this one. Please, don't make your argument lack
any sort of impact by lying.
Pulp Fiction: "Bring out the Gimp". Guy in a leather outfit, with a mask. This
is what 90% of the people say to me when I mention the Gimp for the first
time. "Hey, you remember in Pulp Fiction"..."Yes, I know. But it's an
acronym"...
