I always used MTPaint

https://mtpaint.sourceforge.net/

I guess it's a bit old but it works reasonably well, and supports a lot of different file formats which is occasionally useful.

I've also used GrafX2 for this kind of pixelart work. It takes cues from old Amiga paint programs

Didn't know about Pixelorama, looks interesting.

Libresprite (since aseprite went evil) has been the only editor I can use for over a decade, glad there are others now.
