The problem I have with whiteboards, and especially porcelain ones, is that they are too slippery. Writing on a chalkboard offers a certain amount of resistance and texture that just feels better than on a whiteboard. This is also something that you really need a high-quality board to experience. The texture of cheap chalkboards is not very pleasant either.

I have experienced this but only when it’s wet. The tricky thing is that it seems impossible to dry it completely with anything but time. So you do need to wait a good few hours after cleaning with water.
Use windex or other common glass cleaner sprays; they tend to evaporate very quickly.
