I believe anything that involves creativity of the artist is an art. Art is not bound by any medium.
I did a lot of water color paintings, and even tried my hand at oil painting.
Lately, I shifted to Vector Art and I am finding that I can express myself better with it.
Short answer: Digital art is art like those in any other medium.

The main differnce between digital and traditional painting is the non-linear process.That is, an artist can often arrange their painting in layer that can be edited independently.Also,the ability to undo and redo strokes fees the artist from a linear process. But digital painting is limited in how it employs the techniques and study of traditional painter because of the surface differences and lack of physicality.The digital artist has at thier disposal several tools not availble to the traditional painter.Some of these inculde:a virtual palette consisting of millions of colours, almost any size canvas or media ,the ability to take back mistakes, erasures, pencils, spray cans, brushes, combs, and variety of 2D and 3D effect tools. A graphics tablet allows the artist to have very precise hand movement simulating a real pen and drawing surface.
