M'spaint.
Do you think M$ knew that Paint would go on to be like...the worst image editor ever? That it would give us such internet creations as the trollface and the rage comica, sonichu, and would be instrumental in the biggest office distraction since the coffee machine?
Like for people coding such programs, is it just a fleeting thought "haha what if this shit was like, the tool someone used to upend how the entire internet views funny cat photos, and the thing we turn to to get through the third major crisis of our age?" I mean haha silly funny cat photo how cute. Fuck Bill gates and his billionaire buddies tho, no such thing as a good billionaire.

It's not great, but in the hands of some people it's amazing what is possible.
At the time for an applet it was amazing. Real artists were expected to get ~~a design suite~~ individually marketed full applications for copy (word processing) pixel and vector graphics separately (often then divided between design and photoediting).
Gates in particular is a creepy fucking sexist asshole who abused his position at Microsoft to make passes at numerous women who were his subordinates, including Melinda Gates, whom he met about four months after she started working at Microsoft.
Not that this makes him much different from any other billionaires.
The prophet hath spoken. Burn the heathens who would pronounce Em Spaint improperly.
You better not be talkin' shit about Em Eph Paint.
Ahem.... ... ... gif
Em Spaint is the only tool I use for editing jiffs. It’s top notch.
At least you didn't pronounce it "gif".
