The one thing I do miss from the first Paint -- never had an Apple, but I imagine Paint copied it pretty closely -- was the fully adaptable eraser (rather than a set of five fixed sizes).
Microsoft is phasing out this Paint -- won't be included at all in the next version of Windows 10, and won't be developed any further, but you will be able to download it for free from the online Store. They're replacing it with Paint 3d, which I tried out yesterday, and was basically shouting in frustration within 5 minutes.
The whole thing is geared toward "customizing" someone else's designs for cartoon characters: man, woman, cat dog, and that's about it. So no more improvised monsters for me (through that app). So yeah: I'm keeping my 2d version (I know how to add shading and highlights for myself, thanks, which, as far as I can tell, is the only thing that Paint 3d does that Paint doesn't)
Okay -- rant over.
