The UX is abysmal to the point of being user-hostile, the name of the software is an abelist slur, and also has sexual connotations (the founders are aware of both issues with the name, with the latter being the intention behind the name, and explicitly no intentions of addressing the former). There's just nothing positive about it whatsoever.

Just fork it and make a better UX then (and give it a better name than the current one).

Because forking a huge software project is a massive undertaking

they should rename it GINP (GINP Is Named Properly). Then we don't have to go to war renaming GTK
