Honest to gods, this conversation happened today, and it may have cost me a job opportunity. The customer was super impressed with my menu design and animation, and wanted to know who we got it from. When I said I did it, their face lit up! Too bad as soon as i said GIMP, they weren't interested anymore. Has anyone else experienced this? What do you say in similar situations?

If naming a piece of common open source software, regardless of what it's called, loses you a job opportunity, you dodged a bullet.

Also GIMP is a great name. I'd rather it refer to an image manipulation program than its derogatory meaning.
