Ever since moving from Windows to MacOS, I was desperately looking for a replacement for MSPaint for the following use case: "paste an image, crop it properly, crop further, put red bold square box around the interesting part, add some text and arrows".
All tools are tried make this way less ergonomic than ol' good MSPaint.
Then I remembered this ridiculous idea someone had to port MSPaint to JavaScript:

- ecopoesis 4y agoPreview, despite its name, does this really well. Its freeform drawing tools are a little different (shapes and lines are vector, not pixel) but they're very easy to use.
- vladvasiliu 4y agoYou can do this with Preview → Annotations You can have the annotations palette always displayed. I haven't used MSPaint since the Windows XP days, but I don't think it can be any easier than this.

- justin_oaks 4y agoI mostly need to do that kind of thing on screenshots. The Flameshot app has worked really well for taking screenshots and annotating them. https://flameshot.org/ https://flameshot.org/
