Hey there,
I am looking for an app (universal binary!) that is quite the same as Paint for Windows. I already have bought Aperture to edit my pictures, i just would like to have a really simple painting program on OS X. I didn't found anything "light", i googled and found thing like Gimp or Graphic Converter, but there must be something easier to use, no?
Thanks!

I wish Apple would bring back development for that Drawing app that came with the Mac OS X Public Beta.

Sadly, this has been one item that has been missing on the Mac for a good long time.
ChocoFlop looks pretty cool. Unfortunately, it requires you to be running 10.4 (due to it's heavy leverage of CoreImage)
GraphicConverter actually works as a paint program, though that is hardly it's main function. I certainly wouldn't want to use it for that purpose exclusively.

I assume you're talking about Sketch. It's still available as part of the Developer Tools, and at least one person has made some enhancements to it, such as SVG export (but not import, strangely enough). Development on that program is, however, stalled if not outright dead.
In any case, though, Sketch is a vector app, not a bitmap one: I'm very interested in seeing development continue, but it won't do what the original poster wants. If you want a Paint-like app, I recommend Seashore, a project that began as a Cocoa fork of the GIMP but seems to have gone its own way. It's nowhere near as powerful or complex as the GIMP, but if what you need is Paint-level graphics then it's more than adequate.

Thanks very much! I downloaded Seashore which seems simpler, as i wanted. Plus, it is UB

Have a look at LiveQuartz Image Editor. Its free and has some basic image drawing tools and compositing functions.
LiveQuartz Image Editor 1.6.2 - MacUpdate
Its quite easy to use and not a full-powered or complicated editor. It puts items on different layers which makes some editing much easier than others.
