Noooo, I use paint all the time to adjust property floor plans!

Try Paint.net. Superb freeware program originally developed as a university project. Better than Photoshop for basic use and far less memory hungry.

This is not correct. They are just moving it to the windows store.

It's also very good a resizing photos for PowerPoint or documents.

See the other thread it has been retained in the App Store - not sure why they would want to remove it anyone don't do any dev work on it no real odds to leave it in
