The slow and steady climb to 3.0 culminates in the most modernized version of GIMP yet.

Pity about the cringey name.
It’s an acronym: GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP).
yeah but it apparently has some disgusting meaning that I always forget as a non-native english user
As a native English speaker I didn’t know “gimp” was more than a nonsense word and a lowercase version of this program until your comment. I admit I grew up sheltered and that probably influenced what slang terms, especially unkind ones, I learned about, but otherwise I don’t consider myself particularly deficient in the vocabulary department.
Offensive word for someone with a physical disability or leg injury, a stupid person, or (not sure if it’s okay in this context) a submissive person in BDSM activities, according to the New Oxford American Dictionary.
Yeah.
The project name embodies several of the worst aspects of the FOSS community, and none of the best.
It’s a shared embarrassment, by association, to many of us.
