Gimp works fine and Inkscape is genuinely nice.

GIMP needs to change the fucking name. If even Coq, the math nerds, can get their shit together enough to change their name to Rocq because Coq sounds rude (and is especially awkward for women to say in professional contexts) in a language that is not the primary language of the creators nor significant proportion of the userbase, then surely the GIMP people can find it in their hearts to do similar.

Rocq out with your Coq out

GIMP's dev team are the living embodiment of "not invented here". Whether code, suggestions, or basic public relations concepts like not using a slur for their software's name, they are among the most stubborn and most close-minded people in the entire free software/open source world.
