Yep. I bought one for my wife – an illustrator. I enjoyed it so much I bought one for me (UX/front end dev) and am Craigslist-ing our Wacom Cintiq and Intuos. The Cintiq lag is awful, while the disassociation between screen and tablet of the Intuos was always “best of a bad solution”. Personally, I always found the “give” in Wacom’s styli to accommodate pressure sensitivity too much for my liking, but my medium of preference was always lead holders; I suspect those who prefer painting, pastel or other softer medium might have the opposite opinion. It’s not perfect, there’s still some lag in different apps. Wacom also had a slightly better “tooth” on the drawing surface. The omission of an “eraser” can be annoying, though I would imagine less so for artists who wouldn’t use the eraser on a drawing implement anyway. The various buttons on both the Wacom tablet and the pen were also really helpful, though a bit overwhelming. Wacom also has a variety of nibs for different feeling brushes. My TL;DR the Wacom is a more productive and perhaps more capable tool, but the iPad Pro + Pencil combination is the closest any technology has come to replicating paper & pencil. When you compare the costs $799 for the cheapest 13" Wacom Cintiq vs $898 for the iPad Pro + Pencil it’s going to be a no-brainer for a lot of artists who aren’t deeply entrenched in a Wacom workflow.
