Like other said before; Animating and story management is my favorite part of EX. If anyone wants to get more into animating, this is a great alternative to TVpaint (though it doesn't have audio so that's a downer). I also have one file for all my pages, making it very convenient to switch back n forth from them.
I just upgraded from Pro, and right away I love the story function to see all of your pages. Ito have to experiment more see what else I'll like about it.
I just upgraded to EX and I was really looking forward to the story function, but I'm not so sure after finding some huge flaws in it (and if anyone knows how to solve, I would love to hear how!). I am very much so a stickler on how my files are organized (which is why I was so interested in being able to have multiple pages right there!) but upon trying to make a story I found three big flaws: 1. I had to import pages one by one, manually, into a new story. There was no way to take a bunch of pages and make them into one. Very slow and tedious. 2. It makes a new image and you cannot change the file name. 3. The file naming convention it forces you into makes no sense whatsoever and adding in a page to the MIDDLE of the story then added a page to the END of the folder it's in because it does everything in numerical order and doesn't understand reordering pages.
Again, if anyone knows how to solve any of these issues, I would love to know! At this point because of these issues, I don't think I can use it. Maybe when I start a new chapter I might try it again.
So I upgraded but I haven't used any features from upgrading yet.... 
You have to right click on the story management display thing that shows you the comic pages side by side and click Batch Process -> Batch Import.
As for the reordering I have no Idea and I would suggest just importing all the files as into a new story and delete the old one.
I have 0 issues with the naming so I don't know what to tell you. I personally never to anything with the actual clip files and always batch export the story or manage the files inside clip studio paint.
Story management is the greatest thing to grace the planet. I'd still be using Photoshop if it wasn't for that.
I just downloaded the trial version and am tempted to get the EX version since a sale is going on. However, I do much of my art in vector format (using Illustrator and Flash) before rasterizing it for print. The ability to use easy screentones and dialogue balloons seem to be the most appealing features, but I'm not sure it's enough.
What does EX easily do that Photoshop and Illustrator have trouble doing?
I don't have any problems importing CSP files to stories...? I wonder what the difference is. I just have to click Story(P) --> import page and it lets me do that.
But I agree with people that not being able to name the files as you please is annoying. Otherwise it's really nice to be able to see everything at once.
(meant to edit that previous post, not delete :'''D ...And now I notice that un-delete button. Oh well.)
Story -> Import does allow you to add CSP files however Batch Import does not, which is weird. This software isn't very intuitive at all the there are lots of these issues throughout.
There are vector layers in Clip Studio Paint.
Aside from the comic specific things like tone, and panels you can do everything Clip Studio Paint can do in Photoshop and illustrator. That includes animation and importing 3D objects. I mean the big thing about CSP is there is no subscription(not the iPad version because apple prefers it that way). It isn't really amazing at doing anything but comics, it's rather average at doing everything especially text but that's somewhat a good thing because you won't need multiple software to get your work done. It does a lot of stuff for the price which is why people switch to it and because they dislike Adobe.
Personally I've started using CSP EX with the affinity programs to cover for the tings CSP sucks at without getting a subscription or outdated software.
I currently use pro so I was kinda curious about the extra features. Then I saw this:
I am sold. I bought it literally just now for this lmao. I can spend hours adjusting text and lining up bubbles. There's a ton of other fun stuff too I see. $100 (or 80 ish for me) is a steal for something this convenient.
Seeing as I get paid to make comics it would be in bad taste for me to pirate the program I use to make the pages I am getting paid for. So yes of course I paid for it. (unfortunately NOT when it was on sale. As I had a deadline to meet if I wanted to get paid AND I was unaware that it went on sale as often as it did. It could have been such an easier blow to my wallet)
Ah okay. That is very weird. Thank you for clarifying that point!
I'm curious about this feature since I currently typeset initially in CSP just to get the word bubbles the right size, but then I do all the final typesetting in Photoshop so I can adjust as needed. Does this feature break up the text by word (like Photoshop) or by letter (like CSP)? By letter is incredibly useless so if it can break up by word that would be very helpful.
From your screenshot, it doesn't look like it... but I'm assuming it's still in the adjustment phase?
Sweeeeeet! I will take a look at that feature!
Okay, what is going on here... that option isn't even there for me... I just upgraded a month or so ago so I don't have an older version or something...
I think I will try reaching out to their support to figure out what's going on.
Update: It looks like it must have been released very recently, right after I upgraded. Working on getting the newest version now.
So I haven't used photoshop to do comic editing before and the last time I used illustrator was 4 years ago so I can't really compare the two.
The thing that eats up the most time is trying to get the "shape" balanced, and in pro, that often meant playing around with adding spaces and using newlines in the middle of sentences. If I added words or changed the phrasing, I would often have to hunt for those custom spaces/newlines.
I played around with an old comic draft and here's what the storyboard looks like with the lines broken up:
One annoying thing though is that it doesn't seem to like editing lines that were made without the editor. The text is grayed out and it won't let me change the lines unless I modify it inside the "artwork". That might be because I made this particular page years ago so maybe it's an old version, but if you have to retype your lines to fully import pages that can be annoying. I'm still playing around though so who knows!
edit: Oh did you mean like, if you made a bubble a set size, does the text break itself up into lines automatically? It doesn't actually, or if it does, I have no idea how to consistently activate it. Dragging the bubbles around always moves the text but I can't seem to assign text to a bubble like illustrator used to do
