They have a very natural feel and a high response to pressure sensitivity going from thick to thin lines in one smooth stroke is quite easy, especially when using the Stabilization slider that allows you to slow down the brush stroke for more precision. I also love using the inking brushes for my line work.

And when I'm painting, I like the way colors blend together by using the Mix function in the brush customization menu.

Once you hit OK though, the settings are applied to the selected (hopefully new) layer for further adjustment if necessary, or to be re-done if the effect isn’t as you had imagined.

The options here are very similar to the Photoshop Stroke dialogue. This will bring up the following modal window:
