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.

Same here. I've been using PaintShop Pro 6 since the late 1990s with wild success. I does all my light lifting, and most of my heavy lifting. The only limitation I've ever run into is that is doesn't handle modern transparent PNGs very well. And now that other apps have content-aware-fill, I've found that I sometimes wish I had that. For transparent PNGs, I use GIMP. For photography exposure/lighting/contrast/color changes I will use Raw Therapy. For panoramas (including content-aware-fill) I use Microsoft Research Image Composite Editor.

I hadn't heard of ICE, it looks really useful. Thanks!
