Illustrator paint brush and blob brush

I made a topic about having a brush that painted with the vector shape instead of path.I guess illustrator had it all along.It's called Blob Brush.But something that I noticed is how amazing the line from both these brushes is.I think PSS linework brushes are superior to PS ones.Even with Lazy Nezumi I'm still unsatisfied with PS line quality.However when I ended up working on a project inside Illustrator,the Brush tool and the Blob Brush tool creates really amazing brush marks.I can't tell what is that makes the experience so great.I don't think it's the post process of the brush mark,although that is as well cool.Especially the Blob Brush.Since I think it not only smooths the brush path but also the created shape.Since the Blob Brush creates a vector shape,so I guess it goes and smooths the paths of that shape as well as smooths the brush path as a whole(I mean the path created by the stroke as the brush moves).
Again I don't know what it is,maybe because it's a vector.But still it feels so good to use them ,that I think PSS developer(s) should look in to this.It feels really responsive,so there might be a different method of converting the pressure from the pen.
Also a vector feature inside PSS where you can mix vector(linework let's say) and pixel will be amazing.And by vector I mean real vector,not like Clip Studio Paint where the line work can be made with editable vectors,but it's displayed as pixels.Where as it would be better to be displayed with vectors, and when exporting to an image to have the option to convert the vectors to pixels with different anti alias settings.Also maybe have a preview option for the vectors so the user can view how it will the vector look once pixilated.

Illustrator's blob brush is smoothing after pen release - it's a same as an Adobe Flash brush . You can doubleclick on the blob brush icon and set smoothness to 100% - you will see how strong your line will be redrew after a pen release.

Anyway we are going to add some vector tools in Paintstorm but it will be little later.
