I did the same until I discovered that windows has built in snippet tool. Try it out.
You can't draw circles and arrows, etc in that tool though. I need to point out the obvious sometimes. Well, actually most times.
Let's get rid of the handful of useful features left in Windows. Next time around we'll take care of that pesky calculator, and then we're coming for notepad.

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.

This 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.
