And actually my ideal utility application is a cross between Paint and a sprite editor, like Image Composer. You would have something like layers, but they wouldn't have to be the full canvas size like a layer is, and instead, be draggable and resizable like
sprites are. You would be able to set things up so that any new drawing would be created as one of these 'slices', or be added to an existing slice. And of course, the slices would be able to be merged or flattened into the image background.
Not that I expect Microsoft to do anything like this, but when I was doing web design or interface design, I would basically be moving back and forth between Paint and Image Composer, and using Photoshop very minimally.
