    Yes. It also seems obvious, to me at least, from the very awkward Graphics Image Manipulation Program phrase that someone went to pains to achieve the acronym. Very unpleasant and petty, in my opinion.

    I would never mention the existence of or my use of this program in a professional setting. But I tend to not mention it at all now because accessibility is in our communities too.

          Add an R for “rebuilt”, bump a major version, call it GRIMP. You’re so welcome GIMP team.

          Bonus: on Kagi, GIMP is the 2nd of 16 total results for “GRIMP”. It’s right here people.
