The lure of notepad.exe and paint.exe was to me that they are simple and don't change.

Bloating them is antithetical to why they are useful.

I just use Notepad++ for notepad.exe but I'm still looking for a good paint.exe. Although I've used Pixelformer recently for some 32bit bitmaps and it's pretty good

Have you tried "Paint.net"?

Second that, it's the right mix of paint and gimp for me most of the time.

Same here. It's one of the programs I greatly miss on Linux. :(
