Somebody in the Windows team must have realized that they can now vibecode all the missing features into MS Paint without having to dig into the legacy codebase themselves. New brushes, layers, and now rotation.
We all know where this is headed. Sooner or later, they're going to drag copilot into it.
I'm pretty sure Paint has been rewritten at least once, if not twice, since Windows 95. Windows 7's Paint was much more advanced, with far more options. The current one in Windows 11 definitely has a new UI, although the underlying code might be the same.
They already did, there's a copilot button on the ribbon now
I swear to god and I don't know why, but if they do that, that will be my final straw with Windows
Apparently it's not your final straw because they did it almost 2 years ago

I just use the local install of https://jspaint.app instead.
11/10, does exactly what I need it to do.
It sure why the downvotes. Given the number of photopea clones getting vibe coded there really is no excuse for paint to lack functionality found in ImageMagik 30 years ago

Oh, and hear me out: we have now enough bytes to allow unlimited number of syllables in haiku poems!
Isn't it neat? Now this comment can also be a haiku, and MS Paint can be Photoshop.
Yay progress!
Or maybe they could leave it alone, and take the developers working on this and have them fix all the glaring issues in the OS and all of their shit online services. With all the vibe coded apps coming out, I think we can find alternatives to MS Paint easily enough.
