GIMP's name

Hello.
There are more languages than English. I'm from Spain, and I speak Spanish and I don't have problems with the word "GIMP", and there is a lot of people in the world that thinks the same idea. Also, the "new name" could have problems in other languages.

These discussions about the name are almost stupid, and a lack of time. Is better discuss about the single window interface, vector layers, layer groups, tags in resources... Vector layers or layer groups is something useful. A different name doesn't help to create new images and It doesn't save time to create them.

If someone doesn't like "GIMP", He can create their own fork and release It under his favorite name because GIMP is free software.

I think that GIMP is useful itself and It doesn't need brandings or gimmicks.

And the best way to end such a discussion is not to contribute to it. Let them discuss the name and just ignore them. In the meantime we can discuss topics that matter.
