I still use Paint to crop screen shots when I need to send them to people. Quick and gets it done, on any Windows computer.
I use microsofts snip ( it's part of office, no idea why they don't make it part of windows ) https://mix.office.com/snip It's replaced most of my need for ms-paint

They did the same thing with the calculator, turning what is probably the simplest app on the entire computer into a Metro-ified flat-design-meme store-dependent mess for absolutely no benefit.
The programming mode is invaluable to me. I do a lot of embedded stuff and it is an absolute godsend. If any knows any other good simple programs for bitwise operations and binary conversion then I'm all ears.

Like the sad joke that is "minesweeper".
What's minesweeper like now? I'm still on Windows 8.
I never used the new MS Paint after the ribbon-redesign for Windows 7. The XP version was so intuitive, precise and clean. Actually it's possible to use the XP version in newer Windows editions, but it involves some tinkering.
Paint has always been a handy tool for me for making annotated screenshots as well as lightweight image manipulation. I use it on a fairly regular basis at work. I forsee the result of this being lots of people Googling 'download ms paint' in the future and ending up with malware on their system. Seems kind of shortsighted if you ask me.

I went to open my calculator this morning and it told me it was in the middle of an update and to try again later. 5 minutes, 10 minutes, and 15 minutes later it still wasn't done. I ended up using Google to calculate some basic math! How does Microsoft screw up such a simple application?
All the comments that "you can just use X to do Y" is missing the point that Paint just works, for almost every value of Y. No argument, Paint.net is great, snipping tool solves the grab and crop, but for most anything else you need to do in a hurry, you need a quick paint program. It's like removing Notepad: we all know hundreds of editors we would replace it with, from Notepad++ to vim/emacs... but isn't nice that…
"And yes, I still miss my 1/8" jack on my iphone. Every single day. And stay off my lawn, you whippersnappers." Interestingly, my teenage sons use the phrase "pass the aux", meaning let me drive the music we are currently listening to over the party speakers with my phone. So yes, Apple's attempt to kill the aux jack was definitely premature, even among young tech savvy people.
Not sure what you mean by this, it is the best selling iphone.

I still haven't found anything similar on Mac. It's the biggest thing I miss after making the switch. Preview is close, but still not the same. And Gimp, the usual recommendation, is far, far far far too heavyweight to be a valid comparison to Paint.
