So I'm trying to transition from paper to tablet and my god is it ridiculous. My wife was suckered into getting a bamboo tablet with a macbook years ago before realizing how overpriced and under-powered macs are and never used the tablet. I've tried multiple times to set it up but can't find the model on Wacom's site to get updated drivers, finding them elsewhere I couldn't get pen sensitivity to work and one of the buttons defaults to the "bamboo dock" which isn't installed and links to a page on the wacom site which has been removed. Finding it on a third party site and trying it I found out it's garbage bloatware. Tried multiple solutions for sensitivity to work without success and found out this has been a long existing problem for all of wacom's tablets and the solutions which sometimes works for people usually only last until they restart their computers and require over an hour of uninstalling and reinstalling every driver because wacom doesn't have competent software developers and just reuse large chunks of old code from drivers which contains existing bugs and incompatibility. Adobe gets spammed with complaints and points fingers at wacom while wacom points fingers at adobe and just say to reinstall drivers. Meanwhile people who sell old tablets are as ridiculous as mac fanboys who think their technology doesn't depreciate with age and expect original retail prices for outdated hardware and poor software support from years ago which was underpowered then because of lack of competition in the drawing tablet industry.

This is frustrating and stupid. I'm a scientist by trade so I don't prescribe to brand loyalty when it comes to technology, I get hardware based on it's specs compared to it's price yet it seams that's the exact opposite of what's possible with tablets. How do you guys feel about this?
