Help for Paint.NET etc, please

LOL, that's the second time today you've replied almost before I've finished posting.

Quick service!

I've heard via lurking on various sites that Gimp, Photoshop and Inkscape, to name three, are difficult to learn, with a steep curve. I don't have the time. I tried CC2 once and gave up.
By the time I'd recapped what I'd learned last session, this session was over.

The advantage with Paint.NET (I think) is that it works very much like MSP and I'm already familiar with that.

Why not pick something MORE powerful and use what you need. I would say go for GIMP as it's free and while it has many advanced features, you can keep it simple also until your ready to step up.

What specifically are you looking for that MS Paint can't do?
