I don't think there is any special Wacom integration despite the "Works with Wacom" (what doesn't?), it doesn't take notice of pressure or anything like that anyway.

edit: My mistake. It detects when you're using the eraser, but that's it.

edi2: Actually some of the brushes do seem to be pressure sensitive but it doesn't seem to work on all of the brushes it should.

Are there competitors to deviantart? Because I have seen them reign supreme for many years now and cant recall anyone being as successful in this market.

dA is like Facebook. It's hard to compete with because it depends on the social network aspect. There are people with tens and hundreds of thousands of pageviews and thousands of watchers who have never submitted any art.

Nothing draws for me. Win7 64 IE8. Sigh.

Works with iPad. A little lag here and there, but much better than any other canvas drawing app I've seen so far.

There are competitors. I know of three. I don't know that I would call them successful though.

Can confirm it works great with a Wacom tablet. Pressure and erasing works. Info on using the Wacom plugin is here: http://www.wacomeng.com/web/release_notes.htm

Thanks. I was on the harmony site for nearly 2 days straight when it was pulled for no apparent reason. I'm so happy to see it is back.

I wonder why it's based on that rather than a more conventional painting program. The 'webby' and 'chrome' type brushes are kind of difficult to use and get the effect that you want.
