Paint is an easy to use, simple program. I wouldn't call it a photo editor. I use it for making simple drawings/diagrams for papers and presentations. Like the other day, I was making a diagram that had 3 or 4 shapes and two words of text. Took me 5 minutes to do in Paint, looked very simple but that was what I wanted. I know I could have done it in something else but that would require me to learn arguably more difficult software.
