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.

    Paint.NET for a Windows paint replacement, GIMP for ghetto photoshop work.

    I have used Inkscape (SVG editor/paint) in the past but I found it to be a mess. Maybe it has improved.

    If you used Inkscape as replacement for paint, you certainly were disappointed, because it isn't and isn't meant to be that.
