@lindsays @dragonarchitect Granted, I always welcome competition as it makes it easier for people to get started and forces established players to up their game and cut prices.

• So even if one doesn't switch brands it'll force #wacom to do better...

OFC they achieved dominance with both IP & patents as well as providing a very plug & play experience, with basically every creative & engineering software to if not take advantage of it, at least work fine with them.

• Again, I sincerely hope the situation has gotten way better since the last time I looked at an #XPen device, but back then every competitior to Wacom outside of #Windows Systems looked jank (#macOS drivers were barely working Kext|s) and #Linux support was between "Resistive 1 point touchscreen" and "NOPE!", so there's that...

I don't claim my experience to be autoritative, up to date or scientifically backed up (sample size N <200 = not a scientific dataset) and I think it's important that I take a closer look...
