It has nothing to do with programming, I know mechanics who complain about car models where the manuals costs massive amounts of money if they are even allowed to get it at all and it takes weeks to order them. This should be a familiar story in every field. Do artists not have ateliers full of custom brushes, things they found work for them and they customized? Not to mention that artists these days are Maya, Autodesk and Photoshop users. Is that pen really powerful enough? Because a pen is really close to a mouse pointer anyway, so why even stick to an ipad then, you can simple buy a pen and board for the desktop computer. This is not about whether I am a programmer or not, this is about why some praise and use Apple devices for professionals even though they are not the best choice.

> A professional in any field will ultimately want to customize their tool or make their own tools and that is not possible with ipads or even really software on iPads. I was responding to this main point. Every professional drawing app, on the iPad, allows you to make your own brushes. There's no limitation there. That's just a fundamental requirement of a drawing app. They're not customizing the workflow or tool/apps itself, which is what I thought you were referring to. > make their own tools This requires programming, does it not? Do you have some examples? > why some praise and use Apple devices for professionals even though they are not the best choice. Especially for drawing, I think it would be best to ask the professionals why they chose a ~1lb iPad in their backpack with a pixel perfect stylus, over a desktop computer and mouse. The answers might surprise you.
