Microsoft Paint to be killed off after 32 years

A Metro-ified flat-design-meme store-dependent mess which takes a noticeable delay to load.

I've taken to firing up an instance of IDLE instead - which is actually a little nicer in the end

You need to give ipython a go.

I have one deployed on Digital Ocean (http://blog.mclemon.io/fedora-jupyter-on-a-linux-remote-usin...) but it's just not as convenient or quick as a local python repl for quick calcs and sums.

Cool post! But I run ipython / jupyter console locally for such use cases. It's nicer than plain python IMHO. Tab completion, coloring etc.
