Whats wrong with Wacom ? I have a Surface Pro 2 which afaik uses Wacom tech (i know the newer ones use Ntrig) but i find the pen input to be very responsive and nice.

I've off and on owned Wacom tablets. None of them were an experience I decided to keep using no matter how neat having a pen interface on a PC is.

Laggy as hell to the point they're unusable to me.

Probably a driver or software issue. Can't imagine the Wacom hardware is inherently laggy.

The drivers are written by Wacom, and the software isn't written by me AND the pen interfaces in major pieces of software were written for Wacom in mind (and often with input or actual code by Wacom)....

And as a user, I literally don't care why it's broken, only that it's broken and I have no need for a broken experience.

I think you misunderstand parent; he / she was referring to Wacom technology as industry leading / the best.

I understood the parent to conclude that choosing Wacom was a failure, as Wacom tech is not as good as whatever is in the Surface 4.
