I love to draw ever since a child. In my youth, comics were my goal in
life... :D

But I believe he's talking about automatic smearing *while* stroking
with a paintbrush... like real paint strokes when on canvas. That'd be
cool to have in Gimp, but I'd more urgently wish more color-depth and
editable vector strokes.
Though now with a stylus vector strokes leading to smooth curves are
pretty low in my needs... :)

You can rest your arm. You just wind up cleaning the screen more often. :-)
It's handy because you can see just what you point at, like a touch screen
rather than a mouse, is all.

That probably varies for different people.
The best game was Black & White, where your cursor is a grabby hand, and you
move around by grabbing the ground and dragging it towards you. *Very*
natural with a touch screen. :-)

I ordered stamps from Zazzle that read "Place Stamp Here".

Yes. The color sticks to your brush until you rinse the brush, in what's
said to be a very realistic way. (I.e., the point of *this* paint program is
to produce results as close to real paint as possible.)
Even then, if the water gets dirty, and you wash your brush, and then paint,
you leave watercolorish smears on the paper. You have to change the water to
get it clean again.

But there's a cursor showing exactly where you're pointing at. :)

I see. Physically-based, unbiased painting, huh? ;)

Oh, yes, that would be nice. :-)

It does make a big difference, doesn't it? I thought I could do fairly
well with a mouse, but there's absolutely no comparison.
The only thing is that it hasn't turned me into Da Vinci or Michaelangelo
yet. ;-)

Yeah, I do find myself using the mouse more and more - I use multiple
systems as a unified desktop, and while I could use relative positioning
with the pen, that's not as natural as using it with the mouse.

Those guys had none of such babysitting techs around and yet provided
much richer art than most of today's art. Our buildings are geometric
and flat, our art abstract and noisy, our music all but drums, screams
and noise. Much better tools, much worse artists. Some say limitations
are an advantage for creativity and I tend to agree. A blank sheet
staring at me is an invitation to expression (as is a blinking cursor :).

Quite a lot like that. I haven't painted enough to know how realistic it is,
but it sure *looks* more realistic than anything else i've found.
