> 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.
