I've been holding off on buying an iPad Pro until I can walk into an Apple Store and buy one _with a stylus_ (last I checked the wait on the stylus was down to 2 weeks).
It seems to me that if you want the stylus, you're in the core market for this device. If you do not care about the stylus, you probably aren't. The iPad Pro with a stylus replaces a similarly expensive Wacom Cintiq, while also being usable on its own. Everything beyond that is pure gravy.
The keyboard seems like a miss (frankly, I prefer the Surface Book's design, and I want a freaking trackpad — note that the glass keyboard acts like a trackpad for text selection on the latest iPhones, so it's hardly unreasonable).
Anyone who would seriously consider a Wacom Cintiq isn't in the same market as the iPad Pro. The Pro's lack of software and features within the software it does have makes it a children's toy by comparison.
I see people often bringing up the Wacom Cintiq in comparison to the Pro to point out how good of a value a Pro is by comparison... The truth is that a Wacom Cintiq is a professional tool to be used with other professional tools (software); the iPad Pro can be compared to the Cintiq but then what? What are you going to do with it? Draw a pretty picture?
