mspaint

I love mspaint. Microsoft has not made a better app for the Windows ecosystem than mspaint. One could argue that the Task Manager or Notepad is 2nd, but it is not even close to the greatness that is mspaint. The quick load time and expressive capability of mspaint cements it in the Windows hall of fame.

runner-ups

I felt it would be redundant just to write a blog praising mspaint, so here are some other useful apps that I use, apart of Microsoft or not!

microsoft

• notepad: simple, again fast, and all stored in a single folder (at least for me).
• snip & sketch: always had to use gyazo for this, but now they have a “native” solution.
• clipchamp: a recent addition that replaces some other editor.

not-microsoft

• windirstat: very useful when cleaning up files to make space.
• autohotkey: it’s a scripting language designed to make hotkeys.
