Microsoft Paint to be killed off after 32 years

I never used the new MS Paint after the ribbon-redesign for Windows 7. The XP version was so intuitive, precise and clean. Actually it's possible to use the XP version in newer Windows editions, but it involves some tinkering.

I recently had to use Paint again and noticed the newer versions got rid of the "right click on this color to set the background color" mechanic. Sure it's not very discoverable, but that was a great power feature that I didn't even appreciate until it was gone.

The feature is still there, but the mechanic is different. More clicks needed, but more discoverable.

You're supposed to put commands you use frequently on the quick command bar with the ribbon
