Those who say that there are similar applications out there, or that Paint.NET is "better," haven't taken the time to read what the application and its associated web-based service actually do. I've used Paint.NET and agree that it's a lovely little program, but Skitch is not a comprehensive image editor; it would be more accurate to compare it to a screen capture program that lets you annotate, resize and otherwise manipulate the resulting image before saving it. Even then, though, the associated mySkitch service, as well as the application's built-in "sharing" functionality (upload to FTP, Flickr, etc.) offer added value that such a stand-alone application doesn't.In any case, best to try it before deciding, eh? =)
This is a nice app, the myskitch sites needs some social web2.0ey sharing features but the app is solid. great functionality with drag and drop simplicity.

You read my mind. I can remember countless wasted hours on the Sega playing this game. Seemed so state-of-the-art at the time...

If only there was a Windows version, or I had enough money for a mac.
