I've been using tablets since 1995 or so, and I can hardly write legibly, let alone draw. My motivation was realizing how much I preferred the trackpad on my PowerBook to a mouse, and the lack of any decent desktop trackpads at the time. So I tried the tablet, which worked even better! One tip: try the various sizes of tablet, as tastes differ; some find the larger tablets tiring, others find the smaller tablets fidgety, and, in my own experience, display size also plays an important role (the "large" Intuos is perfect paired with a 27" display, for instance, while the "small" feels more natural paired with a MacBook Air; while you can compensate by restricting the active area on the tablet, I've never been a big fan of doing so, nor with spanning the tablet area across multiple displays).
