> you're preventing people like me (IT teaching, a go-between between techies and non-techies) from being able to recommend it.

Why exactly is it bad? It's not that all software have to be loved and recommended by everyone, opinions differ and it's normal.

If for you the name matters more than the substance then well maybe you're not the target audience, so be it.

Because I believe in the higher goal of free and open source software, which is more or less the same as the belief that knowledge should be shared -- and the space that GIMP occupies is one that I think a great deal of people would (have benefitted from) if it were to be disrupted from Adobe.

No, I don't believe in hiding good software that can help a lot of people under a secret rock.
