Yeah, but MS Paint was my one and only art program for years. In the face of 99% of the internet telling me to try photoshop, gimp, paint.net, etc
all the damn time. Unsolicited advice, being told my program was horrible, being praised for earlier art
only because it was done in Paint, not because it was any good on its own, etc.
Hell, everything in my signature is Paint. And they bent it over, took it in the arse, skinned it, skull****ed it, spray painted the remains with 'photoshop rulez' and then put it on my doorstep. It was so offensive when I first opened the program that I came within an inch of
going back to windows Vista.
So. Yeah.
I know why they ruined Paint. Because 99.99% of people never use it. Well, now most of the 1% that did have hacked their own OS in order to keep using the old version, while the rest of the 99% still don't use it anyway because there are free (or pirateable) programs that do feathered blurry crap better. Paint has always excelled at sharp, detailed pixel work. So they got rid of that.
It goes to a little more than tweaking the UI or whatever. And it's actually a pretty big topic for me, as a dedicated MS Paint master.
Anyway, I said I
didn't want to rant, and I don't. Anger makes me sicker, and this is a topic that actually really riles me up. I can't afford to have my immune system punching holes in me all day and putting me out of commission for writing for months as a result.
Edit: I'm not mad at
you, just at the subject. And I really, really don't want to rant further on it. I'm incurably ill and can't afford to let myself rage. :/
