Make it easier as a new user to fill a shape
There's no fill or paintbucket tool. For new users this is really yucky. I am trying to use the paintbrush tool and I keep selecting a fill color since that is the only thing I can find that has anything to do with filling but as soon as I go to draw with the paintbrush the fill color I selected vanishes and is replaced with that no fill icon. It doesn't make any sense to me and is really hard to use. Why not make your interface more intuitive for these most common things people would want to do right off the bat?

Brushes in Illustrator use stroke color rather than fill, because a brushed stroke is a stroke. This is just how it works and it most probably won’t be changed ever.

The thing is brush uses a stroke color and not a fill color.

You just have to learn a bit.
And trust me, I don’t often defend Adobe.
