This is an excellent graphics program for those who do not have too many requirements. I discovered it relatively recently, when most (if not all) of the reported shortcomings have been resolved. Coming from Paint.net, I find it perfect for my needs.

Pinta 3.0 Basically fixed all my complaints, works flawlessly now, and it's just what i look for, Krita and Gimp are too advanced, and stuff like KolourPaint is too simple, i needed an inbetween like paint.net, and this is the linux equivalent, i really like the new layout, things just make sense again now, and it makes sense while looking good too!

I tried out Pinta for work one day and in that one day had multiple crashes, causing loss of lots of work and time. I strongly recommend any of the many alternatives that I've found work just as well or better and don't have these stability problems.
Crashes on Win 10
Free, lightweight, intuitive.

Pinta is the best alternative to Paint.Net forever!
Simple photo/scan/image editor.
