I personally didn't really like photoshop the opportunity I had to use it... I found it ... overwhelming I guess, so I don't mind simplicity for sure :) But I like the idea of custom brushes, not sure I'll ever fully give up open canvas, but it's always nice to try new things to :) But blending is a big thing for me, I don't really do cell shading personally and it seems like some programs don't blend black well at all and my stuff just come out looking dirty ...lol I've also heard that ... um whats it called Sia is good and Gimp but haven't tried those either
