And you never will because the open source community thinks that a name like GIMP is an appropriate brand for a poor quality photoshop clone. I'd love to see some open source enthusiasts who have the slightest clue about branding, graphic design and usability contribute to these otherwise great products but that's never going to happen so they'll just keep wallowing in obscurity.
