When I hear news about GEGL and Gimp I recall Duke Nukem for some reason.

Finally... the old multiple document interface is a pain in the azz when you are used to open multiple documents.

Good.

This is good news. Now all they need to do is change their name to something non-derogatory, and I might actually recommend it to someone!

or you could just choose one of the non-derogatory meanings for the existing name. Try to expand your mind just a little.

Seriously?
There are two definitions for gimp that existed when they picked the name for the project.

1. US & Canadian offensive slang a physically disabled person, esp one who is lame
2. Slang a sexual fetishist who likes to be dominated and who dresses in a leather or rubber body suit with mask, zips, and chains

So yeah, that's why I think it is a bad name for a program that isn't about S&M or gimping people.
