For me Paint.Net is like foobar2000 or Mp3Tag: they make Windows great. I miss this tool now that I switched to macOS for work. Is there something similar to Pa

  My go-to editor was Paint.Net on Windows too, it's really good. When I switched to macOS, I found Krita which is pretty nice. I have really basic needs and Krita is free, so your mileage may vary. It's presented as a painting app on the official website (and the specialized UI looks really good), but you shouldn't be lost on the default GUI configuration. It's available on Windows and Linux too (and I just saw there's a Steam version, but it's not free).

  It's geared towards designers but https://inkscape.org/ https://inkscape.org/ is FOSS for macOS. As feature-rich as it is, I still prefer the simplicity yet effectiveness of Paint.net which allows non-designers / engineers to edit images intuitively.

    Inkscape on Mac is buggy; it's quite clearly a Windows-first product. I ended up buying Affinity Designer for $30.

    Isn't inkscape for vector graphics while paint.net is for bitmaps? You can't use one when you need the other.

  For free? No. If you're willing to pay 20 to 40 euros (depending if it is on discount or not) you can get pixelmator pro which is a lot more capable than paint.net. It is sad that apple provides some decent office apps, music app, video editing app for "free" (as in bundled in the OS you paid for along the very expensive hardware you paid for) but no drawing tool...

    "Preview" app is quite capable.

      Not for drawing.
