should we feel bad because I can't draw without it?

Don't ask for photoshop its simply not possible to draw any line in there, maybe because im not familiar with the advanced settings.

I use mostly the S1-S7 in SAI

Would like to know your comments if you use frequently the stabilizer.

No.

However, programs have a life-span, and eventually the program that you loved may not work on new computers, or may stop being supported by its creators. So if the ONLY way that you can draw cleanly depends on SAI and one day SAI goes away... then you will be a very sad artist. So there is nothing wrong with using the tools you like, but you also don't want to be a slave to one tool.

Tool,had been made the computer,
software is the logic in it to use.

Make art at the computer are better cause it goes beyond and easy,
lazy is the concern about the care being lost with pencil and paper.
Layers to draw and erase,save do again.

Sadness is within society for money impositions and joker smiles.
Play at internet for do it,do it, .....

I don't think so, no.

I started out on S-7 and have been working my way down. I'm down to S-4 to S-2 on occasion, and my goal is to use it to slowly teach myself to have a steadier hand so eventually I won't need the stabilizer anymore.

Is it cheating to use a spline when doing real-world ink work?

Real artists only draw with their fingers on their own skin using their own blood.

No its not cheating because a pencil and a stylus are different. A pen is a stick with a graphite/clay mixture in it that you draw with on a cellulose surface by spreading grains that fall from the pencil with applied pressure. It's forgiving to microscopic shakes. A stylus is two pieces of moderately slick plastic that tracks the pressure and position of the stylus tip with electromagnetic signals which can be a bit too exact for its own good if you are used to a pencil.

Photoshop is awkward for lineart to some. I can't get over how a line can't taper below five pixels unless you draw with a brush that is below five in which case it won't taper at all.

Ywah right, because I find the tools on SAI really powerful... other programs doesn't feel the same way.

The tablet picks up hand shakes to an unnatural degree. The stabilizer just restores the smoothness you can get with a real pen. If that's cheating, then using any tool besides drinking kool-aid and licking the paper is cheating.

Which... BRB, just invented a medium.
