> This version of MS Paint is like the peak example of covering 99% of basic use cases while being incredibly simple to use. At some point Microsoft just forgot how to make software like this - sometime between 2005 and 2010 I think. OSe

If I may ask, what was the use case for this code that they cared so much about a 2% difference in benchmarks? Aerospace? Game engine? Packet routing?
