    I don’t think the name is why it isn’t used so much. I think it’s because it’s un-intuitive and almost incomparable to non-destructive/parametric professional programs. You can’t even change text after applying a style… for many, things like this makes it practically useless for real work.

    Someone already tried to fork GIMP in order to change the name (Glimpse)… it didn’t work and they gave up.

      I’m not saying its solely the name, I’m saying its the earliest stumbling point for getting people to use it

        The only time I have ever heard of anyone complaining about the name were literally the Glimpse devs themselves.
