Classic Paint always loaded much faster, and had a more usable and friendlier user interface with superior mouse and keyboard usability. They were not ready to exchange the good old mspaint.exe with a completely different Store app because the old Paint has its own advantages and Paint 3D does not surpass it in every way. Many people were not happy with this move from Microsoft. The app has tools to transform 2D drawings into 3D objects. It comes with tools like markers, brushes, various art tools to help users create objects.

Paint 3D is the new Universal Windows Platform app and its user interface is completely different from Classic Paint.
