>The most modern and often used version of the word "gimp" is an ableist insult.

Untrue. The most common usage is as an adjective/verb that has nothing to do with disabled people. "Switching from C to Java really gimped our performance." "Our marketing in Mexico is gimped because we didn't hire a native Spanish speaker."

Also this is pretty rich coming from GNOME, considering that's used as an insulting name for little person.
