yeah, i keep thinking of back when photoshop first came out. i bet a lot of graphic designers who were used to using physical stuff might have been worried this would put them out of work. maybe it did, to some extent, or it just overtook whatever other software was around at the time. i do remember paint shop pro in the 90's. but they generally persisted.
plus, there's totally still people out there using paint and brushes. it's fine. a lot of art is already corporate, but the canned nature of it leaves room for actual creativity being distinct. hand-made still has traction in a lot of circles.
