Seriously, Why GIMP Dev(s), Why?? (infosec.pub)

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?

That's when you lean in and feign ignorance. Ask the other person to explain what gimp means.

Hell if I'm going to let what some normie thinks make me second-guess the names of my tools

I bet if it had a better name, more people would use and recommend it.

Some folks call it Gnu Imp, but i really do wish they would change it.

Steer into it!

On the other hand, we all avoided using Freax

“I made this with GIMP, since I use Freax.”

I just say I photoshopped it.

You could have just said you use animation software for it and not go into details.

Most customers don't care anyway since they aren't going to do it themselves.
