Nothing gives me more rage than opening "other" drawing software, selecting the "paint bucket", and clicking anywhere inside an enclosed shape and not seeing it

Nothing gives me more rage than opening "other" drawing software, selecting the "paint bucket", and clicking anywhere inside an enclosed shape and not seeing it fill with the color I selected.
Layers, vectors. Give me break. MS Paint was more intuitive in the 90's than any software to date.

- w0utert 13y agoYou could argue MS Paint was about as intuitive as the geoPaint application in GEOS on the C64 [1], which has an almost identical feature set and user interface as MS Paint. I don't really understand why anyone in their right mind would have anything positive to say about MS Paint except that it is ubiquitous, and they remember having fun with it when they were still a kid. It's really a pretty lousy program, more like what you expect from a code sample shipped with a compiler. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GEOS_%288-bit_operating_system%29 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GEOS_%288-bit_operating_system%...
