Photoshop is WAY overrated.  True, it's a great program for SOME
things, but it won't do ALL things.  People treat it like a drawing
program when it really isn't.  It's a raster-based IMAGE MANIPULATION
program.  There's not a single drawing tool in th whole package! 

**** HOLD YOUR FLAMES ****

By this i mean there are no traditional drawing package tools, like
circle, square, pen, freehand, etc ... unless you consider that
marquee selection tool a drawing tool.  ... Even if it DOES have tools
similar to these, they weren't meant for *drawing* and design ideation
... would i be correct in saying it is much more intended as a digital
post-production program than a make-an-image-from-scratch program?
(With the exception of textures, which is more a matter of playing
with filters than actually drawing pixels on the canvas. )

( who wasn't at all impressed with Photoshop and still clings to his
copy of AAPro, and has lustily eyed Fractal Painter for many months
now )
