Ah, the view is a good point, didn't think of that since you can easily modify the way the surface read the contact, ie. make it a fine point.
Most digital artists (myself included) aren't good at drawing using a finger. It feels fucking awkward and strange and the drawings look like crap.
The feeling of akwardness is due to not using it so that is the same if you're not used to drawing with a mouse or pen or whatever.
