Gimp for me.
A neat little program called Pyxel Edit. Otherwise I use MS Paint or Photoshop.
my discord is xiv#2549
Adobe Photoshop CC
So I use two different programs but I mainly use Gimp. The other program I use is Adobe Photoshop CC which I mainly got for school. Personally they are both pretty much the same (except one is free and the other one isn't), but Gimp does make you do extra steps when doing something such as moving a selected item. You just gotta know your way around it and then it will be a piece of cake
MS Paint and GIMP are pretty bad in my opinion, everythings messed up, and its hard to get the right tool you want to use, unless youre a expert at using the program.
I would recommend ArtStudio or IsoPix
Pixel art editor for Andriod. I have used Pixly and I might use it again, It can do gifs and my other software can't.

So my phone broke and I went to the library and now use GIMP too. On pc, you have more control over the colors. In my opinion, you have more control in general though.
