On the contrary; I have Paint.net and GIMP installed, I've experimented with both of them, and I still don't have a tool as quick and easy for marking up a screenshot as Paint is. At that singular task it is superb.
I create a lot of training material, so marking up screenshots is a significant component of my job. This will make my job harder for no good reason.

Windows Snipping Tool is a very good tool for taking screen shots. 7Zip and VLC are good examples.
