"Weird counterintuitive behaviour"
Version: Paintbrush 2.1.1
Pros
free
[We're required to enter at least 10 characters, so this here's a bonus-line. Enjoy.]Cons
confusion is also free
Summary
I use select rectangle and expect to cut, and get a red rectangle. took me only 5 minutes to realize this thing was even worse than the previous version, which was merely slow, awkward and crash-prone. But what it could do actually made some sense.

"primitive and some features not working at all"
Version: Paintbrush 2.1.1
Pros
looks like windows version paintbrush
Cons
It is NOT Paintbrush and it's a little primitive in this era.
(1) Canvas size could not be resized by dragging the edge of the window frame, instead we need to specify the dimension which is a challenge.
(2) Font colour could not be changed - it's always BLACK!!
(3) Cutting and pasting from another picture, and changing canvas size crashed many times!!
(4) "Contact Us" is as good as not giving us the email address as they never respond to our queries/feedback.Summary
Disappointment!

"no good - won't cut and paste after 2 hrs into a dwg"
Version: Paintbrush 2.1.1
Pros
simple like paint - to bad it doesn't work as well as paint
Cons
won't cut and paste after 2 hrs into a dwg

"Absolutely needed, clean and simple, some rough edges"
Version: Paintbrush 2.1.1
Pros
Very simple to use and very similar to PaintBrush on Windows or the old Mac Paint app. 90% of the time I only have very basic things to do, and this let's me do that. Other apps are much too complex, do way to much, and therefore make simple things hard.
Cons
A bit rough on the edges. When copying and pasting within Zoom mode, it would not have what I pasted selected in any usable way.
Summary
If you need a simple paint program, that does get drowned in lots of advanced features, layers, photo effects, etc, get this.

"Unstable and Glitchy.... and too simple"
Version: Paintbrush 2.1.1
Pros
relatively easy to use
Cons
tools randomly change color, missing important functionality like being able to rotate image 90 degrees. When image is selected there is no way to stretch it like in every other paint program out there. Trying to resize selected image causes the program to crash 9 out of 10 times.
Summary
The developers have a good idea but the software just needs ALOT more development. This is the first time since I've gone MAC that I'm reminiscing about the good-old days of Microsoft Paint

"A good and fun program. Reminds me of the old MacPaint."
Version: Paintbrush 2.1.1
Pros
Easy to use!
Cons
It is so simple that one would think it to be more than it is.
Summary
Very good program. Get it if you can.
-
"Very frustrating product"
Version: Paintbrush 2.1.1
Pros
It has most of the basic features you would want.
Cons
Colors keep switching when you do not want them to; the eraser is terrible, sometimes adding color rather than subtracting; changing between instruments/options and the zoom arrows are sometimes very unresponsive. In dire need of a user's manual.
Summary
Still needs a lot of work.
-
"Succeeds at what it sets out to do"
Version: Paintbrush 2.1.1
Pros
Simple, well written, fits nicely into the OS environment, fun.
Cons
Limited functionality, I guess, but that's sort of the point.
Summary
It's a fun little play around tool that does exactly what it intends: provides a slim, light MacPaint/Microsoft Paint-style piece of software for the modern Mac.
-
"perfect little image prog"
Version: Paintbrush 2.1.1
Pros
saves me firing up Photoshop for those little jobs
Cons
none - simple little image editor
Summary
always useful to have
-
"Just OK..."
Version: Paintbrush 2.1.1
Pros
Looks nice. Works fine.
Cons
Nothing really wrong with it.
Summary
Not what I was looking for.
