I tried using Aseprite multiple times but didn't like it. I ought to try it again sometime.
Back when I still worked on Super Mario World hacks I used YY-CHR as it was an easy to use sprite editor that worked with basically any kind of old hardware, and using MS Paint XP outside of that. When I started making pixel art for my commercial pixel art game I initially used Paint again but it wasn't working for me, so I ended up just making all the pixel art on actual SNES hardware using YY-CHR and Lunar Magic. It went pretty well, I think. Really taught me a lot, especially to appreciate the limitations older artists had to deal with.
