FWIW, "git" doesn't have an insulting meaning to most people in the US. "Git" can mean "go" in some US dialects. I would guess that the average person here has no idea that "git" has any kind of negative connotation.
On the other hand, in the US, "gimp" is always either an insult, a derogatory verb, or the open source project.
Companies adopted Git. They'll adopt Gimp if it's better than Photoshop.
