yeah, i've heard lots of artists say the only thing photoshop is good for is editing photos and to some extent i agree. PS is terrible for fill-bucketing because it leaves this white gap between the color and the lines. it's also awful for drawing imho because i still haven't found a brush that doesn't look blurry. every other drawing program does such crisper lines with their default brush. but it's good for shading, changing the color of your lines, and adjusting your colors after you've already put them down.
it's nice to have multiple different programs you can work with for different purposes, but i feel you i'm pretty much sticking with FireAlpaca forever. xD also, i used SAI once! it was so good. but it gave me the same feeling Photoshop gave you, it just feels too complicated... there's so much you can do with it.
but i also never found a good download of it and i can't afford to pay for an art program, especially since i've got a good free one.
