@tijagi Apparently you've managed to misinterpret or take each of my replies as an absolute. Let me go over it again to clarify:
I like mechanical pencil over ball pen because they give me the option of using them at most angles depending on need since they use a solid lead instead of ink, and I can fix any mistakes. The option is the key part here, doesn't mean I'll use them like that all the time. Most of my writing is either on the computer or taking notes, traditional writing stuff I use for either drawing or fancy letters of which I'll never need to do many in one go.
I use 0.5mm since 0.5 and 0.7 are the only cheap ones found everywhere and I don't need something else enough to invest on a set of expensive pencils.
I know which is which, what I was going at is that by using softer leads you need less pressure to leave the same amount of lead on the page, so it's easier to avoid putting enough pressure on the tip that it'll break when you're doing shading or filling.
