It depends on your motor skills. Painter is very easy to use and quite
intuitive. My only concern is that if you have fine motor skill
disability, you may find it hard to select the brush you want.
Other than that, its a totally trippin program with amazing capability.
It's easy to get distracted trying out the brushes, but the drop down
menu is only there for as long as you need to select it, then it
vanishes. the workspace can be as clean or as overfilled as you care
to make it, since you can hide all the windows you are using by hitting
the "tab" key.
Painter is really a phenomenal program. I've used it a lot. It's
definitely my favorite paint program -- its far superior to photoshop
for digital painting.
check out a screen shot of it at Corel. I think you can download a
fully functional free trial from them. That way you could really see
if it is what you are looking for in a paint program.

You didn't say, do you have any digi paint experience, as if not, you
don't need painter or Intuos, psp and a Graphire would do. I worked my
way up over ten yrs and now can use painter, but still use psp too as
it's better for editing, and normal painting. PSP 8 witch is a few yrs
old now does just about anything one would want, except the fancy
textured impasto work that Painting has. He's right about your hand
eye skill, as any good digi painting, takes a lot of good skills.
