Microsoft Paint has been marked for death:

The era of Microsoft Paint appears to be coming to an end with the upcoming release of the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update. The image-editing application is officially being classified by Microsoft as a "deprecated feature," as noted by The Guardian. That means that, come this fall, Paint will "not be in active development and might be removed in future releases."

I go hard in the paint.

Also at PCWorld and Smithsonian.

    Ubuntu :)

    But seriously, it depends on what you needed it for. For actual editing work, I use Photoshop CS5 which I'm fairly good with. MS Paint is very good at screen capture manipulation where I can paste, crop, and save very fast. If I need to make some notation, a scribbled arrow or some text is sufficient. The small number of tools makes it like a Swiss Army knife. I know there are plenty of screen capture utilities out there, but MS Paint is guaranteed to be there.

    I doubt there is any alternative that is as lightweight as MS Paint.

    Of course this is Windows 10. Just ask Cortana to take you to paint.net
