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?

Well, did you know there was a fork of gimp called glimpse, that was created because of that name?

Well... its abandoned now... So... apparently the name didn't make it more popular.

[Edit: removed AI written articles about glimpse.]
