Yeah, they are great. Takes a little while to get used to the feel, but most tablets and styluses (stylusi?) are pressure sensitive so that you can have different weights of pen or pencil strokes. One of the reasons I switched art programs, because my freeware couldn't differentiate pressure of strokes. I still did some intricate art pieces, but to do it I would have to use a paint brush with about 1% opacity and just make dozens and dozens of strokes to create different shades. It was a royal pain.
