Regarding Notepad++, I prefer Kate:

Yes it's pretty good. Also a KDE app like Okular.
I mostly use Geany, but otherwise Kate.

Must admit one of the things i missed the most when jumping to linux was paint.

I miss Paint Shop Pro. It's always GIMP you get with Linux, which is about 10x more complicated than I need.

Paint Shop is still with us;  current version from Corel is "Paint Shop Pro 2023 Ultimate"

paint.net you mean? MS paint has so little features it's almost useless to use it, other than drawing basic stuff. Less versatile than paper
I like paint.net but it doesnt have much of a feature set either, GIMP has a lot more useful features but the UI is bad... I think it's open source tho so you could just fix the UI problems.

Paint.net has ad-ons which help a bunch, but they aren't that good. for example I have 2 vignette addons, one of then you can change the color of the vignette, but not the "depth" of the vignette, while the other one you only have a black vignette. Because of this I usually Ctrl+X the image, add a layer, put a black vignette on it, then adjust the image color shift until I get the color I want, then paste the image back on the bottom layer.  ;D I can't complain since the time wasted is worth less than the laughs I get about how silly it is.
What bugs me the most tho is that 100% hardness isn't 100%... it's just dumb, the only way to have a 100% hard line is to use the pencil tool which is fixed at 1 pixel size. While in Gimp the pen options work as you'd expect.
