Not even 30 minutes ago, I saw a MS sponsored add for Paint on Facebook.
But then again, unlike this article, I don't consider a rewrite with new functionality as killing off an app, even if the rewrite has "3D" attached to the title.

#32This is silliness. I Win+R, mspaint at least 10 times a day. I paste in screenshots and quickly cut out just a portion of them. Or leave the screenshot there for later review. Why don't they just remove the file browser? Or how about mouse support?
On Windows 10 try: WIN+SHIFT+S to get instant screen clipping and paste it to e.g. Twitter or whatever.

#33There is a whole subculture of artists who use MS paint as a means to make a specific form of art. Also this actually saddens me that sure there could be other low budget tools but without one baked into the OS think about the kid bored in school who can no longer stumble into mspaint and start doodling in class.

#34Question is why does MS after 32 years still include incredible WEAK tools like Paint and Notepad?
They should spent a little and buy up some of the great tools out there and include them in windows.

#36There goes my screenshot editing software
Windows ships with snipping tool for screenshots. You can also press Win+PrintSCrn to save a screenshot image in Pictures\Screenshots. Microsoft also have their Snip program available for download: https://mix.office.com/snip

#37If it weren't for MS Paint, I would have absolutely no image manipulation tools available to me at work :)

#39I still use Paint for things like shrinking the size of an image or editing screenshots. Sad to see it go.
