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

Ok. What's derogatory about gimp?

Seriously?
There are two definitions for gimp that existed when they picked the name for the project.
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/gimp1. 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.
