Thank you for that link! I've installed 3.0.0-RC3 and so far I'm pleased. I've noticed a few new behaviors like moving multiple layers now with shift instead of the previous layer link.

I'd argue that GIMP reclaimed the word for a better meaning. Consider how the word lame has lost its derogatory impact. Googling "gimp" gives me only results about the program. Changing the name now would dilute decades of brand recognition and confuse users, especially those in non-English communities.

I use it almost daily in website content creation. Sure there are quirks, but it's a completely free image editor that can do nearly everything I need. No complaints from me.

I'm patiently waiting for resynthesizer to be ported. Then I will make the move to 3.0. I've used GIMP exclusively as my image editor for the past two decades and it has fulfilled my needs for web development. I really don't get all the gripe around it. It's one of the most valuable free programs on my PC. Sure, it does take time and possibly customization to get yourself a comfortable workflow. But once you get it down, you can do basically everything you need with keyboard shortcuts and blaze thru editing really quickly.

I don't think it's highly damaging. It's an acronym. Is BBC's name highly damaging?

Parent does not mention GPL, nor is this a GPL issue. It's about the takeover of an existing plugin and it's reviews/installs.

If Microsoft took over an existing GitHub repo, would those values be the same?

Perhaps you should edit out "refugees welcome" then.

I'm interested. Please do share.

I'll take that as a "no." unless proven otherwise.

Are you going to be "just asking" other businesses as well? Or does it only apply to competitors of Automattic?
