There's a bunch of closed source ones, the best of which were brought by Adobe, but there's never really been a big open source effort.

GIMP say that the lack of separation between functionality and UI is why they're not behind an effort. That said they said they'd be happy to stick their name on an effort.

But this takes me back to my original question, why are there no open source photo editors, despite their popularity?

i dont think gimp should stick their name on their own product.

On the flip side, I grew up most of my life only knowing gimp could stand for gnu image manipulation program, and is still the first place my mind goes to when I hear the word

I remember watching Pulp Fiction for the first time and being confused as to why the gimp was called that.
