    Sad that it is not running on macOS. For the last few years I used Gimp, but I have a feeling that Gimp is getting more and more unintuitive nowadays (if it ever was intuitive).

    Recently I needed to do some ad-hoc drawings and I found myself using one of these online paint clones. There is plenty of them.

    I would really love to have Paint.NET on macOS. I think MS efforts for making .NET cross platforms are somehow half-assed. They ported just as much to run web apps and REST services but totally gave up on GUI stuff. Maybe it's their strategy to lock devs to windows machines, as there are many tools like ILSpy that .NET devs often use.

    The community answer, the last time I checked, was AvaloniaUI (https://github.com/AvaloniaUI/Avalonia) which is cross platform port of WPF (at least XAML based). ILSpy is already ported to it (https://github.com/icsharpcode/AvaloniaILSpy) but it runs poorly on Linux (I have experienced random crashes and UI problems). I hope the project will do well and within a year or two we will also see port of Pain.NET.
