    You have to set the WLBR_IS_GIMP env variable to get the new name. So I guess that might be what they going for, at least for now?

    I get what you are saying but IMO the old name was hurting adoption. Imagine the headlines if say some city or government announced they are moving to GIMP from photoshop or affinity.

      I imagine them being something along the lines of ‘Government organisation X moves from Photoshop to free open source alternative’ or if a journalist is feeling funny ‘Government organisation X moves from paid image manipulation software (PIMP) to GIMP’.

      Anyways, I think it’s only a minor issue limited to English speaking countries, and only a issue for people who already have issues
