REgardless , without visual feedback, liike meshmixer, scullptris and even zbrush has, its not the same, and counter intuitive, hence my comment 
I don’t like not having the visual feedback, I feel like I"m sculpting blind, and it never turns out as well.
I know I read it on BA forum, that ‘conform to topology’ was removed for some reason and not sure when it was going to be put back in, so do you have info regarding when it was put back in, and how to ‘turn’ that feature on? I prefer it, even if you don’t.
Visual feedback is very important, as meshmixer proves nicely , or why would they offer their tools as such ? There must be a reason for it no ?
The main point of my comments , is the terrible edit performance, for which atm there is no remedy, short of them re-writing the GL code to current, according to BA forum.
sculpting - Is there any "Show Brush On Surface" option in sculpt mode? - Blender Stack Exchange , admittedly thats’ 2015, but has it been added back in for those of us who want it, and as that thread indicates,I"m not the only one
