Microsoft Paint is a simple and easy to use graphics program that is built into the Windows operating system. It is a basic art and drawing application that allows users to create, edit and share their artwork. Paint includes features such as brushes, shapes, lines, fills, text, and more. It also allows users to open and edit images in various file formats such as JPEG, GIF, BMP, and PNG. Paint is free and easy to use, making it a great option for beginners and casual users who want to customize their photos and create artwork.
The amount of support, add-ons and alternative options make it much better than Paint.
Easy to use, basic, photo editing software.
Discontinued The last stable version was in 2015. See https://pinta-project.com/pintaproject/pinta/releases/1-6
It is simple and has all the tools of Microsoft Paint.
Simple interface with powerful tools.
There is no selection tool, which is what I need.
Edit image files exactly as paint does.
It is actually quite microsoft paint.
This program does almost everything you could want in a paint program, plus text and blur effects, etc., and is very easy to use without losing any skills to do so.
You cannot create or draw images with this application.
Photopea is an excellent Chrome OS replacement for Photoshop (or GIMP), but it is much more complicated to use than MS Paint.
Really light and fast, it has a lot of extra features, but it's sharp, which makes it powerful but not complicated (looking at you, Gimp). In my opinion, it would count as a replacement for Paint.NET. Although if you have this, why would you want a regular MS Paint clone?
Reacts very similar. Has rectangle selection. Cut and paste works well (like painting). It has an undo function. When a file is opened for editing, it resizes its own screen. You can stretch the screen with the mouse just like painting.
Yes, this is a good balance between size and functionality, similar to ms paint and many features missing in mspaint :)
Although Seashore is now discontinued, it was one of the closest open source equivalents to Microsoft Paint for Mac users. It's a shame it has been discontinued.

I was looking for a program that could convert a .JPG file to .ico, and Krita did exactly that.
