#152I haven't used Windows as a primary OS for years. I miss having MSPaint around for small edits, and have yet to find a suitable replacement. Other apps either have too few features (e.g. Preview) or too many (GIMP), or the interface doesn't feel right.

Pinta is a good alt for Linux.

#153Earlier quoted context omitted.
Protip: get an SSD. It improves your life in many ways. Three examples I notice between my girlfriend's HDD-based laptop and my SSD-based one: - A game, Factorio, takes literally 5 minutes for her to get to the main menu. For me it takes about 30 seconds. - Using `time gimp` and hitting alt+F4 immediately, I get about 2.14 seconds. For my girlfriend this indeed takes a little bit, though not a minute. - Booting up (f…
I have SSDs, and GIMP for Windows starts up slower than Eclipse (!). In my experience the Linux version starts up faster than the Windows one.

Indeed. 4-5 secs to open GIMP on Linux here on HDD, and practically instant once cached. Maybe try and start with some command-line options. Useful ones in your case:
-d, —no-data
Do not load patterns, gradients, palettes, or brushes. Often useful in non-interactive situations where startup time is to be minimized.
-f, —no-fonts
Do not load any fonts. No text functionality will be available if this option is used.
-s, —no-splash
Do not show the splash screen.

#154This is amazing , really brings me back to those sweet old days. Just curious, is this built with any JS framework ? the code looks like its vanilla JS !! which is fantastic ..
and is it open source / Github project ?

#155Where is crop? To me, the most valuable tool in MS Paint. What? Did you think I used it for “drawing with a bar of soap?”
I don't think Paint (at least the version this is replicating) had a crop feature.
I always used to do:
- Ctrl-A (Select All)
- Ctrl-X (Cut)
- Ctrl-E, 1, Tab, 1, Enter (Resize image to 1x1 pixel)
- Ctrl-V (Paste)

#156Shapes are always filled with an outline, no matter which option I choose. Apart from that it looks really good, and I don‘t have performance problems that some people report.

Were you (or anyone) able to change the brush size? (I'm pretty sure it used to be + on Windows, but it's been a while)

It doesn't take very long at all to get familiar with basic Gimp features. The investment in time is minimal and worth it. You could probably figure how to do everything you can do in MSPaint in Gimp in 20-30 minutes.
I can make my minor edits in MS Paint and be totally done then go get a coffee and when I get back to my desk Gimp may have finished loading.

Best feature of this app I feel is live sharing
like: http://jspaint.ml/#session:abc sessions are shared in real time
