The major issues with programs like Superpaint is that it creates raster images rather than vector art, and the files tend to be much larger for anything close to full size, even at the lowest resolution considered "high res" (300DPI). You also have extreme limitations on trying to manipulate or change elements in the artwork, re-scaling, etc., at a later date.
