You're being completely disingenuous, that's absolutely terrible.

My use case for Paint is highlighting one off screenshots for clients and the like. Nobody is going to send your sort of screenshot in a professional environment, it looks like it was marked up by a kindergartner.

My workflow: I open up snipping tool, take a screenshot, copy it, paste it in Paint, mark it up quickly (arrow tool or circle/rounded corners tool usually), and either save it or (usually) copy it and paste it into an email or Word Doc. Super easy and quick, I can do this in the time it takes GIMP to load or another program to download, its also always there. I do this on a monthly basis at least.

I've never had to do anything more advanced.

It sounds like you could really take advantage of Greenshot. http://getgreenshot.org

Why though? Paint is already perfect. It's ubiquitous, doesn't require a download and install (there's locked down machines), loads instantly, and the UI is incredibly simple and intuitive.

Though if I ever need "advanced" screenshotting I'll keep this in mind.

I too find greenshot to be very useful, its just that bit quicker than paint for easy snippeting

How is it different from the built-in snippingtool.exe?

Snipping tool doesn't have shapes or text input, all the tools are freehand. I don't want to email a client with chicken scratch that looks like a child's doodle, that's unprofessional.
