Good Simple OS X Graphics Program?

[Ken_McE]

Anyone have any opinions on what would be a reasonable graphics program for OS X? I'm looking for something towards the simple and basic side, kind of like MacPaint used to be.

I love gimp myself, which has tons of features, but is still intuitive (to me).

For a MacPaint, go to versiontracker.com and search for the "Paintbrush" app. It's got the simplicity of yore.

I really like LiveQuartz. I use it when I don't feel like firing up Photoshop and it is much like a trimmed down Photoshop. It's easy to use and provides enough tools to be useful but not too many to be confusing. It's definitely worth checking out.

There are several really good and inexpensive ones now with the core of it built into OSX in 10.5.

there is acorn http://flyingmeat.com/acorn/
and pixelmator at http://www.pixelmator.com/
and iris http://nolobe.com/iris/

and I think some more too now. Reviews are out there in excruciating detail like here:
