i've tried to use many for a skin but all of them came out horrible, so i once found an application call Paint.NET and it was great and easy to use for me i am new to it and will try to make more skins with it.

but the question is what application do you use?

Paint.NET - best graphics program out there, both with features and the frequency of updates. It's free, and as far as I know, can do a lot more than GIMP could ever do.

Windows only though, so Mac users can't use it unless they try wrapping it in Wine.

The apps I use for making skins are:

But you can easily get away with using just Paint.NET and the skin tester, or just Paint.NET on it's own if you're really in a rush ;-)

Even Paint (original) has a pixel grid :P I don't think I know of any painting program that doesn't have that.

I've used the pixel grid when creating 16x16 icons… due to the extra detail that I need when making something that small. But other than that I generally have it turned off.

The one skin I've made I used with Paint :P If I was going to make another, I would probably have a look at Paint.NET. The skin tester's come in quite useful too.
