Shotaro Tokuno (Japan) I feel like the software really understands what users need. As well as the huge range of brush options, you can easily search for, buy, and download materials such as screentones from the ASSETS store, and you can select multiple layers at once and apply special processes. Although these might not seem so amazing individually, you can tell that the software has been made with an awareness of what users want.

CSP also has great smoothing for linework and a totally customization interface that allows you to make it look like SAI if you so desire. If you want a powerhouse of features and tools go with CSP, if you just want something light and simple go for SAI. Also note CSP goes on sale very often for 50% off, usually around holidays so its smart to wait a bit. Been using Sai for most of my digital life but now I switched to clip paint studio and I am extremely pleased with it. One thing to note since I have a built pc and a mac That sai does not work properly on a mac unless you parallel it Clip paint studio does work in mac. I always stall this as like a premiere vs vegas type deal.

So vegas is easier for editing but premiere offers more but isn't as easy to understand the ui. It's the same with clip paint and sai. Sai is easier off the bat, but clip paint offers more.
