OT: At the beginning I thought like you. Every tool had to be easy to use to achieve things I needed for my games. Now, I prefer good tools that take me a week or two to gain some skill. But with this skill I am able to achieve better results that I'd ever dreamed of in my "I want an easy tool"-days  Yea, you'll probably find that eventually it's a lot better just to learn how to use industry standard software instead of wasting time with quick-fix software like MSPaint. Don't get me wrong, they're good for fixing the odd pixel or resizing, but I wouldn't do much more with it. A good, low price software I use is Corel Paint Shop Pro. It is similar to Photoshop but it is a little more user-friendly. They have sales which means you can get the software for a low price. It is good for designing both simple and complex graphics. Only downside to it is that there are not as many tutorials for it as Adobe Photoshop.

I've been working for a long time with gimp and I really like it.
I once tried photoshop but most features and almost all shortcuts were so different that I immediately switched back to gimp which I was way more familiar with.
...but in the end it's just personal preference and experience.
