It’s an acronym: GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP).
yeah but it apparently has some disgusting meaning that I always forget as a non-native english user
Seems more like a backronym to me, they could’ve picked something better.
Dunno why you’re being downvoted. It’s very obviously deliberately chosen to make 12 year olds giggle.
Like GNU Linux Image Enhancement Manager
There was a fork with a different name. It bombed.
Well you don’t fork a project just to rename it, that’s not why it would have bombed.
The Glimpse Editor project shut down because there weren’t enough contributors, and the founder didn’t have enough time to do everything.

…and yeah it wasn’t just a rename, their github readme suggests they were making UX, accessibility, settings, and plugin changes to make it “enterprise ready” (not sure on the specific details of that though).

Glimpse is a much better name, though.
It really is.
