In the distant past I tried a variety of drawing/painting software but mostly stuck to two of them. Things are evolving fast though and I'm interested in hearing which ones you use and why you picked these over the others. I'm mostly intrigued by the various brush engines, however I'd like to keep this discussion open to any feature so everyone can find a useful bit in it.
Back then I spotted three different brush technologies: Predominantly robotic brushes, awkward traditional simulation, limited-use wild experiments. None of them was of my liking and I started to develop my own brush engine - only started, because I had underestimated the time this would take.
There are now maybe a hundred different applications, brush engines have gotten much better, some are configurable to an extreme degree. I guess my dream engine would be something midway between digital and traditional, with controlled dynamic color mixing but not all the way to impasto simulation.
