IV may not be a full-on image editor in the Photoshop/Gimp league, but it has a lot of editing features. I regard most of the Image menu options as editing features, and there are plugins to add more.
The Edit menu includes cut/copy of a selected area from an image to the clipboard, and you can paste the clipboard to an image edge. What it lacks is paste as a selected 'object', that you can move around on the current image. That's my main use of Paint, I thought they were going to remove it, maybe they removed it in 8 and put it back in 10, I never used 8 or 8.1.
I can load Paint, do the cut/paste/move, save, and upload the image file to here faster than PS/Gimp/Paint.NET can load. I used Paint.NET several years ago, had a lot problems with plugins so I switched to Gimp.
For image viewing I use FastImageViewer for RAW images, Very Large Image Viewer for big NASA style TIFFS, or HoneyView for comics and solid jpeg archives.
