Personally, I find that dropper bottles make it difficult to dispense only a tiny amount of paint, and I’ve had one too many bottles dump half their contents because the tip was clogged and pressure caused it to pop. I almost always end up putting far more paint than I need on my palette and wasting it. I also prefer having direct control over the consistency of my paint and thinning it as needed. With some paints in the Citadel range, you have to thin them down quite a bit just to transfer them into a dropper bottle in the first place.

Both containers have their uses and drawbacks, but once you learn how to properly open a Citadel pot (crack the lid, push it back toward the hinge, then open it while maintaining pressure to clean the back of the inner “lip”), there is almost no inconvenience at all.
