I never got on with GIMP. personally. Paint.NET reminds me of the old Paint Shop Pro, I find it a lot more intuitive.

There might be old versions of Autosketch out there. Its very competent, bit like a basic version of AutoCAD, takes a bit of learning but is v good for site plans and maps. It has layers and will also work to scale.

Won't run in 64 bit systems though, I now have to run it in an XP virtual machine
