Ah, the source of the confusion is here.
The Pencil, Brush, and Air Brush tools each do different things to
whatever Brushtip+Dynamics they happen to be used with.
I was referring to the usefulness of the Pencil tool as doing "something
different and sometimes very nice", compared to what the Brush tool does
given the same "Brushtip+Dynamics" combination. I wasn't limiting the
brushtip (correct terminology?) to the brushtips that intend to emulate
pencil marks on paper.
I think you are saying that GIMP's Pencil tool is terrible at being
digital replication of a physical pencil applied to actual paper? I
rather suspect you might be right, that for many use cases the Brush
tool is better for use as a "digital pencil".
If this is the case - if GIMP's Pencil tool is really bad for sketching
or outlining or etc - maybe the Pencil tool simply needs a more
descriptive name.
Best,
Elle
