Not to mention the creator of GIF prefers the JIF pronunciation.

It doesn't really matter, but I find the hard g folks have a stick up their ass about it.

I understand your point in the creator but I find fault in that argument.

Historically it doesn’t matter what the creator of anything prefers unless it’s an “unveiling” and they name it on the spot. People in general will take something and run with it regardless of the creators intent. The perfect example is “light saber” versus “laser sword.” (Edit forgot to add the word sword after laser)

To be honest I don’t care all that much. If you say jif or gift without the t, either way I know what you are talking about.
