What is it that you don't like in the new GIMP? For me the single window
interface is far preferable to the old lets-hunt-around-the-workspace
mode and it's optional if you do prefer the free-floating layout.

I don't recall the splash screens or about box calling it "The GIMP" in
a very long time (if ever) but the project website still lists the
expansion as "GIMP is the GNU Image Manipulation Program." (side-note:
GIMP predates Gnome - GTK was originally the GIMP toolkit).
