A sleek and modern look for the time? The basic UI was already over a decade old! (paintbrush)

It's cool that you like it, but that's a surprising way to describe it. As I recall (as a user of windows 3.1, 95, ME and XP), the consensus was that Paint was a retro holdover, like Minesweeper and Solitaire. People appreciated it in a kitschy retro way.

We still have Notepad.

And Ubuntu still ships with ed. Some people like their "retro" tools that have shipped with the OS since early versions.
