PaintDotNet is what I used to use on windows. It was a great upgrade without being too complex.

PaintDotNet is perfect if you only need some commonly used "pro" features. It's a relatively easy transition from paint.

All I use paint for is like drawing red underlines under text in screen grabs and shit like that. The most 'pro' feature I ever use is when I sometimes misclick the rounded rectangle tool instead of the rectangle tool and I'm too lazy to fix it. I'll give that a shot tho, thanks.

Check out greenshot. Has a built-in editor that's great for quick stuff like this

No shit? I've been using Greenshot for screenshots for a while (stupid Foxhole closing tooltips whenever I hit shift for the snip tool hotkey) but had no idea it did anything more than that. I'll take a look, thanks!
