Personally I went from photoshop to CSP and i feel like there's much more control in CSP because it offers stabilizing features and something about the brushes feel more natural imo
If you need brushes for Photoshop, there's lots free to download off DeviantArt!
Im guilty of using a lot of layers too! Haha
If you don't know yet (took myself and some others I know to figure it out) there's folders options in CSP and Photoshop so you can organise them better ^^ I like to keep my lineart seperate and my coloring in one folder to make it less confusing and cluttered.
* This can also help for moving things like you mentioned. If the drawing or an element is all in one folder, you can select the folder and movie it that way
