I could have sworn Microsoft was going to stop supporting Paint awhile ago.
Did I make that up in my head or something?

Either way I love paint. Paint with layers sounds awesome.

I remember something like this as well

I guess they announced that in 2017 but there was so much backlash they backed out. That was around the time they introduced 3D Paint. Now I'm wondering if they're going to silently remove the og Paint and call 3D Paint just Paint with all the new features.
