I also used paint.net until discovered gale graphics, I set the hot keys to my liking and so access is much faster than paint.net.

I normally use either Paint.net or Photoshop, but I've also been messing around with other programs such as Graphics Gale, Grafx2 and the good ol' Paint XP.

ASEprite all the way!

It's like GraphicsGale, except not impenetrably complicated for those used to MS Paint. It's got your layers, your animation and your indexed palettes. That's all you want, and all you'll ever need.

Just keep in mind that if you don't want to pay for the program, older versions are free!

^ and if you're capable of compiling it yourself, the latest development version is also free. Pretty easy to do on Linux.

I'm astonished that so few people have heard of mtPaint.

It's absolutely amazing. It's ridiculously feature dense. You can even write C programs to generate/covert stuff for you from it's API.

mtPaint

I gave mtPaint a shot because of Douglas' post, and holy hell is it not intuitive!

GraphicsGale is pretty good for my purposes.
