The tablet works well as mouse in absolute mode, too. You just need to get used to the different way of positioning (with the tablet as a small representation of the screen).

My kids even prefer that with a big (and pretty old) wacom tablet.

Yea I use it in absolute mode and it works nice. I didn't even know it could be configured to a relative mode, and at this point it would be confusing for me, but it could help others get used to it better since "what's intuitive" is different for everybody.

(P.S.: I apologize for other unanswered comments in the thread; I can't reply anymore because of how many days have passed since.)
