    Because of the layering, blending, and brushes. Which is the greatest thing in every drawing app.

    It has good brushes, including the color blending, and ibis paint x needs to be a desktop software also!

    A very good app that has just enough features for almost any artists to enjoy. It has layers, some really good brush settings, and the color tool is pretty nice. Probably one of the best to use instead of Ibis Paint. Although, it does costs a lot of money, but it's ends up being worth it.

    I've never used it, but I've seen lots of people use it and it looks very simple and similar to Microsoft Paint, but it's a very good app!

    IbisPaint X is easier to get used to and provides more functions such as layers, and Autodesk Sketchbook is just uncomfortable and doesn't provide as much functions as a person such as me would prefer.

    It's not horrible per-sae but it's way too different from IbisPaint. Medibang is a relatively frustrating program if you use if for photo editing or want ANYTHING to do with symmetry. It's interface for desktop is confusing and don't even get me started on the fact that it's line correction is garbage. However, it's not the absolute worst and is preferable compared to programs such as Microsoft paint

    It doesn't have nearly as many options. No layers, no stabilization, no gradient options. Incredibly hard to use- but Ibis Paint has all of those options. I don't see how you think that MS Paint is the same or somewhere near the same as Ibis Paint.
