I use mspaint seriously for mock-ups. Because you can’t do too much you dont waste time on perfectionism you can just do enough to communicate a design. It’s a brain hack. Lack of features (and vectors) is a feature!

100% agree. I used to use pencil and paper (and still do if I'm in person), but for a quick and dirty sketch to communicate ideas over screen share, MSPaint hits the sweet spot between speed and flexibility

Yes. Pencil and paper is better for a new ui design. Paint comes into its own when you already am have the app and desire to change the interface, or say create a new dialog box similar to an existing one.

paint.net is tone better and has nice OTB shortcuts.
