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?
Why not rename it to Linux Image Manipulation Program?
Oh, wait...
Ok, then just Image Manipulation Program?
... oh shit.
Can this work?
Or like Krita, no acronym whatsoever - just a cool name
Lol, I suppose. One should stand their grounds and be proud of what they use. And if someone has a false impression of me because of that, correct it obviously and move on. Let them know that we aren't as superficial as having names/words being held against us; that's extremely judgmental.
