GNU IMP
Really? That's the best the fucking brain trust could come up with?
Here are some suggestions that chatgpt came up with. All of them are FAR better than that and dont even take much imagination.
Certainly! Here's the list:
PixelCrafter
PhotoFlare
ArtisanEdit
Imagino
EditSphere
PixiePro
Visionary
ChromaCraft
PixelPioneer
ImageAlchemy
I hope one of these sparks some inspiration!
These suggestion all sound quite bland and corporate though. GIMP isn't a great name but better than all of those in my opinion.
A better change should be more like Minetest becoming Luanti. Here is what ChatGPT came up with instead:
These are horrible compared to Luanti.
Agreed, both lists sound like random words put together. There was actually a fork with a rename and rebrand to Glimpse. It's by far the best alternative name I have seen so far. But GNU IMP does the job too, because people don't like the word GIMP.
Some people are never happy.
