Software do tend to crash; some less forgiving than others. Pencil to paper is always good for jotting down concepts, but art for the web can be done quicker using a good combination of digital tools. A big price-tag or brand-name doesn't guarantee ease-of-use. Commit to learning as much as possible (such as read through the support forum posts) about a non-commercial application can still get you far.
