I'm pretty confident that "die GIMP" (female) is wrong, it's either "der
GIMP" (male) or "das GIMP" (no gender). I'd say it is "das GIMP" because
the P stands for program which has no gender and for acronyms typically
the last word determines the gender. However since no article is not a
problem at all in most cases I'd rather go with this....
