Digital BW, The Print

I agree, the pressure sensitivity together with the natural feeling of
holding a pen is the greatest advantage of having a tablet. It can also
know which angle you're holding the pen. I think Painter supports this
for many of its brushes.

I use my wacom for everything in windows, not just creative work. I feel
that basic operations such as moving windows and clicking buttons are
also done much faster when you're used to the pen.
