Paint.NET is one of the best free graphic applications. It' amazing how easy and fast it is.
I only miss a dark theme.

#32I never used it because I've got Photoshop installed on Windows but just gave it a try. The first thing I noticed was the enormous lag of the mouse movements. So I think for an free alternative I will stick to Gimp.

I'm not a heavy graphics user, but Pinta on Linux (and Windows) does the trick for me.

#34I've been in several offices where people think they need Photoshop to crop or resize photos. Consequently no-one has Photoshop (because its expensive) and people end up pasting 2000x800 images of logos into their letterhead and wondering why all the word files got so big. Paint.Net is brilliant for doing common tasks like that. Its a shame you have to play 'guess the download link' - that has really stopped me from…
You can use https://pixlr.com/editor/ for such trivial uses.

Preview is a pretty simple image editing tool that ships with OSX

#36Earlier quoted context omitted.
Just out of curiosity, why doesn't Gimp cut it in your books?
My money is on UX. But let's hear it from OP.
While acengiano here is being downvoted, this is really one of my biggest gripes with Gimp. I'm having a terrible user experience.
It also doesn't help that I'm already well used to the paint.net/photoshop keyboard shortcuts. Besides Gimp having its own, different keyboard shortcuts, it also has some unique (and again different) conventions for how to use the mouse to select regions and stuff like that.
It may be equally productive once you're used to it, but I never liked Gimp enough to get into how the different ways it has chosen to do things actually works.

Pixelmator is my go-to OS X alternative.
+1 for Pixelmator, but there is also Acorn, quite popular.

It's one of the tools available on Ninite. Point them there instead: https://ninite.com/.

Preview is a markup tool, not an image editing tool.
On OS X it is either Acorn (my preferred tool, because you can cut/paste excel spreadsheets into it elegantly), or Pixelmator (which I also use occasionally)

Rita is quite nice, perhaps a bit too simplistic and is vector based. Doesn't support text input either.
