I stopped using it because of the dev’s attitude towards people wanting them to change the name. I switched to Krita
I stopped using Krita cause it shows a barely SFW upskirt anime picture every time it starts up.
That’s way more of an issue than a programs name.There’s no way that’s even remotely an upskirt. WTF
Still, it’s not something I’m comfortable with when my boss is standing behind me.
If you feel uncomfortable with your boss looking at that, you’re either not doing the thing you are being paid for or your boss does not know what your work is about.
In my opinion it is its limited suitability for (my) common image editing needs. I.e. add a white text with black border to an image.
But these are my requirements. The developers don’t have to cater to them if they don’t want to. I in turn can decide to not use the program or add the features I would like to see myself (It’s the former for me).
That is the way it is.
Edit: The name gimp was never an issue for me. There are far worse.
People are too sensitive today.
I assume this article is about how I want to pull my hair out when trying to do anything in that program because everything feels so obtuse and weird and nothing else.
Use Photoshop once and Gimp is ruined forever.
Has nothing to do with the name. I think it’s cute and it’s an acronym. I know someone that had a disease called DIC - now that’s an acronym that someone needs to rethink.
Use Photoshop once and Gimp is ruined forever.
This is very much like saying “Use Windows once, and Linux is ruined forever”.
Once I actually learned how to use GIMP, I was able to appreciate it. It does things differently than PhotoShop, and, in some cases, I preferred the GIMP way of doing things to PhotoShop. It does take time to learn, though, and you can’t just learn PS and then hop onto GIMP and expect to do things the same way.
Honestly it just doesn’t sound like a legit app to me. Sounds like some guy’s personal project.
Calling your cool new app “TARD,” for example — and then insisting (with a straight face) that it is simply an acronym and “people should get over it” — is just being stupid and missing the entire point…while failing miserably.
this is just stupid. like oh my god how dare they to use name thst is also tied to bdsm. it might just be me but I have never thought about the wrong gimp then talking about gnu image manipulation program. also it’s an acronym that works
