SO easy to use!
Packs all the day-to-day features in a simple to use design - things are where you'd expect them to be!
I like the "move selected pixels" and "move selection" feature, I find only Paint.Net has them both.
Works great, easy to use, lots of features, can disable antialiasing when working with really low resolution images
free alternative to Photoshop
Good alternative to Gimp and Adobe Photoshop
