I had better not say EVERYTHING, but I love using CSP V1 as my main art software of choice. I've also dabbled with ArtRage, which has amazing emulation of physical paints. I should probably try that again sometime. I've also dabbled with Shadron and Aseprite, but I'm almost exclusively CSP V1 rocking on those 100 layer art pieces.
I use an XP Pen 24 pro for my tablet of choice as well. Love it love it love it O _ O.

Clip Studio Paint V1 all the way for me! I used to use Photoshop CS6 and once I gave CSP a spin I never looked back. So many things I was using janky plugins for my workflow on CS6 are just built in to CSP. Having a stabilizer was huge for me, but even simple things like being able to flip the canvas to look for errors without having to go Edit > Rotate > Flip Horizontal every time were also game changers. But I do keep CS6 around for graphic work like digital badges (anything with text rly) because the Layer Styles are pretty goated

I have used a bunch of drawing programs in the past but currently I'm disgruntingly using CSP.
It feels like, at the same time that the CSP business wants to keep up other programs, the dev team doesn't want to make any real changes and just keep tacking more and more flashy features onto the app without ever looking back.
I came to CSP for customization, but it doesn't feel like a cool aspect of it, it feels like a necessity if you don't want to be battling with 400 built-in features trying to grab your attention (but they'll still be hogging your memory though).

I use Photoshop with the same love/hate relationship everyone has about Adobe products. However, my first drawing program was Paint Shop Pro (I think nowadays it's called Corel?) and despite lacking many features it was easy to learn and defined many drawing habits I still have today. Out of their line of products, I still use Animation Shop Pro to make GIFs!
For smaller things like buttons and pixels I use Aseprite.

I somehow ended up using Drawpile as my scratchpad/sometimes fully rendered thing software, only because it launches in like a few milliseconds compared to every other tool out there. I got sick of waiting for PS to take two centuries to open.

Ummmmmmm. I use Krita if I'm trying to do an art, and I use Google Slides if I'm trying to make something simple like a few images on top of each other with text. I could use Krita or GIMP or otherwise, but the hassle necessary to have such a complex app that can do so many things slows down the process of, "hey I wanna put a png of a hat on this picture of a dog"

Photoshop user here. I think I use CC 2020, I never got to like Krita or CSP for some reason. I also own Rebelle 5, but I still haven't got used to it. Rarely ever MS Paint or any other random programs such as Mario Paint xdd.

Been using Photoshop my while life, curtesy of Dad having it on his PC ever since I was a kitten...
Currently using Adobe Photoshop 2020, works well for most of my usual tasks (scanner frontface, coloring in flat colors on to inked art, minor graphic designs, like playing with fonts and shapes). I do use it for painting sometimes, but the brush engine really lacks in comparison to other modern alternatives, so I mostly use custom brushes to emulate different inking tools for freehand writing (though, have to say, even at this task some other programs have a better solution x,)).
P.S. From what some other users mentioned, Rebelle seems like a pretty cool program, gonna have to look in to it sometime soon <w<

i was using procreate for a long time but i felt a little constrained by the lack of binary brushes. after a lot of trial and error i've been consistently using CSP for a while now, but i also use MS paint for a lot of my art.
there's plugins now to give it layers (i think the windows 11 ver has layers? but i still use the windows 7 paint.) but even without all of that you can use layers by using the transparent selection function and just having multiple windows open. it's been easier for me to go on paint and draw loose and fast than it is to use csp. thankfully i've found some pretty 1:1 brush materials that feel comfortable like they do on paint.

i kind of need to know the deep ms paint strats. the meta has expanded since 2010... |

used firealpaca for quite a while, then switched to adobe photoshop cs3, and now i use clip studio paint. still use ms paint every so often for the fun of it, alongside photoshop for those neat effects and filters and such!

I use procreate and love it, though I've only been using it for a year so far from when I was gifted a hand-me-down ipad. Really love how intuitive and comfortable using touch controls are for me. Before that I used Krita, and waaayy before that I got my start on flipnotes lol. I have also experimented with a lot of programs here and there but these are the ones I've actually stuck with for a notable amount of time. I'd like to learn procreate dreams to get back into animating, but I was waiting for them to add the lasso tool thinking they would implement it soon considering how fundamental of a tool that is.
But alas, a year after launch...
