Now if only we could get a solid photo editor. The Glimpse team is trying but they got a ways to go.

- Photopea

- Photoshop CS2 is abandonware, can't activate it anymore, Adobe doesn't care and runs perfectly with Wine. Heck I tried it with Bottles [0] and it's so simple. And much better than GIMP/Glimpse

I didn't know GIMP had been renamed till now, the repo is archived though, is that just because it's a mirror of some email-based-git approach?

It hasn't been renamed, looks like Glimpse was a fork that's no longer maintained (while GIMP goes on).

As far as I can tell, the only reason for the Glimpse fork to exist is to make the name less 'inoffensive'. All they did was search and replace 'gimp' across the codebase. It certainly is not the continuation of the GIMP project.

The Glimpse project started out as a less offensive fork but was planned to evolve into a rewrite project bringing GIMP level photo-editing to GTK3 but the devs got hit hard by the pandemic and it got put on hold indefinitely.

Hm, the glimpse website bills it mostly as a UI upgrade, though as far as I can tell the UI hasn't actually been updated. Didn't realize they did it due to being up in arms about the GIMP name which seems silly.
