Pinta is the closest I've found, though I've gotten pretty familiar with paint.net and there's small differences that make me feel slower using Pinta.
I'm glad to see entrants in this space!

#13Do you really need that Python script? I think you could end up with a nicer user experience if you rewrote those 264 lines to JS with Electron.
Let's not encourage even more Electron apps, please.

I liked Krita a little more than Pinta as a replacement, but for the same reasons it feels slow.
It's really a shame the Paint.net author is so devoted to being Windows only.

Very actively developing this project, so hopefully it'll become a suitable replacement relatively soon. Please open GitHub issues or PRs if you have specific requests, happy to help.

#17Grob is either Slavic cognate for "coffin" or German for "rough" :)
Neat! Glad it's a cognate for cool words haha :)

#18Looks minimalistic and nice to use. I might try making a pixel icon for my app with it.
Let me know how it goes!

Pixelmator - 1000%. Native MacOS - quick to load and very intuitive layer-based paint interface. It's a one-time purchase for $50 but they used to run sales.
They were bought by Apple recently but still sell it. I moved to it when I migrated away from Photoshop. It doesn't have some of the fancier stuff like puppet mesh warp, but for an all-around editor I'd argue its unrivaled in the Mac space.

EDIT: Krita is also great (and free) but it feels more geared towards digital painting.
