Same. Easy as hell for what I need it for daily for work: Take screenshot, crop, resize to an exact pixel size for publication, load to server.
There’s nothing that does that task any easier.

I have a screenshot capture app for chrome and firefox both.
Work requires that screenshots/screencaps (like when I make charts in Excel) be possibly scaled to various widths. It’s not uncommon for me to get multiple requests in the pipeline for “Can you make that 800 pixels? Now 600? Now 550?”
Paint does that with like three clicks in a matter of seconds.
Ha - loading dedicated software, a couple of clicks, and some typing for each scale operation. Inefficient.
What you want is Directory Opus, do it from the explorer window or even get that stuff automated with a little bit of scripting. ;)
Perhaps on your janky-ass computer it takes forever to load Paint. That’s interesting.
Literally it’s pinned to my taskbar. I can take a screenshot of a chart I’ve made in Excel, paste it to paint, crop the extraneous bits (which your method doesn’t allow) it and resize it in about 15 seconds.
I challenge your method to beat that.
Haha touchy! :)
Genital size comparisons notwithstanding, I think my actual method is a bit quicker.
I use ShareX for screengrabs. As soon as you grab the screen it displays the clipboard contents in Greenshot (as recommended by @sharaleo above), where you can crop, resize, annotate, or whatever pretty quickly. So you’re saving clicks to open Paint, new document, and paste clipboard.
If I need to size or convert existing images quickly I just use right-click from DOpus.
Dammit. I use Paint almost every day at work for very simple graphic edits, usually to edit files sent to government agencies or convert between formats. This is stupid. I have to have a subscription to Photoshop now to convert from TIF to JPG or BMP? Of make some small edits to a TIF? C’mon.
Same here.

It isn’t. Just tried it.
Your way is utterly moronic. It’s like the most clueless engineer’s convoluted solution to an elegantly simple and easy to work task.
Greenshot for you my friend.
This, so much this. You can even configure it to automatically direct output to, say, imgur or to paint dot net. Quick and painless and versatile.
I don’t understand how you’d struggle with that. It’s equivalent to taking a screenshot and then having it open automatically in Paint for you. Ah well!
Considering that before I picked it up I was always doing that manually, it’s awesome to save a step. Wasn’t a struggle, just a noticeable quality of life improvement.
Woohoo, guess I can check off ‘Start pointless internet flame war’!

:D
Wait. Did someone say loading time for paint? Paint is so fast it starts up before I finish the left click.
MS Paint is the Notepad of image editors, and for many folks, that’s all you need.
Here I think is someone that used HTML to create a web page. In Notepad. As did I. :)
Greenshot is absolutely magical and has replaced any need for Paint in about 90% of the cases I’d have considered opening it. The remaining 10% were better served by Paint.net anyway, so, I mean. . . yeah.
Microsoft Paint has been in the news since yesterday when Redmond announced that the software is being deprecated with the upcoming Windows 10 Fall Creators Update. News publications all around the world didn’t report the news accurately, claiming...
So yeah, it’s dead?
Not even mostly dead until at least Fall.

No, the focus was apparently on number of clicks so I was pointing out that opening the software was an additional one that could be optimised out. ;)
