Why no Paint?
December 16th, 2008 No comments
Why is there no basic paint application in OS X? Sure, there are dozens of free applications that do the same thing, but it seems like a useful thing to have for users who don’t need anything more complex. After all, a drawing application was the first application created for the Macintosh, before even the operating system. I’m sure there is a philosophical or marketing reason behind it, but I can’t think of any.
Most adult Windows users who use Microsoft’s Paint actually use it to save screen shots, which is easier in OS X with Preview’s “Grab” menu or keyboard shortcuts.
