Paint.NET editing program for Windows

I've been on UHH for a year. In all the many topic discussions about editing software I've seen, people are recommending everything from Photoshop and GIMP down to every app that has ever existed, new and old, as simpler alternatives. Not once have I seen anyone suggest paint.NET.

This is the blurb on the homepage:
"Paint.NET is image and photo editing software for PCs that run Windows. It features an intuitive and innovative user interface with support for layers, unlimited undo, special effects, and a wide variety of useful and powerful tools. An active and growing online community provides friendly help, tutorials, and plugins.
It started development as an undergraduate college senior design project mentored by Microsoft, and is now maintained and developed by Rick Brewster. Originally intended as a free replacement for the Microsoft Paint software that comes with Windows, it has grown into a powerful yet simple image and photo editor tool. It has been compared to other digital photo editing software packages such as Adobe® Photoshop®, Corel® Paint Shop Pro®, Microsoft Photo Editor, and The GIMP."

It's at https://www.getpaint.net

It fills my simple editing needs nicely, and it also has much that I will likely never use. Much smaller intimidation factor than Photoshop and GIMP. And it's FREE.

I can't be the only person who knows about it, can I? If you don't at least take a look at it you are doing yourself a disservice.
