Yeah, I DO wish that MS Paint had more features! lol
I'm sure that when and if I start getting into something advance like ProMotion, I'll be like "How could I have ever tolerated MS Paint!? This new program is so much better!!!".
But hey, even when that day comes, I won't forget my roots. If I did, that would be like a kid, once poor, growing up in a rundown neighbourhood, eventually becoming a big star, and forgetting where she/he came from.
So, yeah. Props ought to be given where they are due.
