Affinity products are like if Adobe never got huge and bloated and instead just kept working on keeping Photoshop/Illustrator/etc modern and usable



except 1/10th of the feature set. one man's bloat is another man's essential feature. as a non professional I eventually had to give up as I couldn't keep CS5 running on Mac. I am still on Intel so I guess I could run an older macOS in a VM.


Yeah agreed. I own all the affinity products and i tried really hard to use them.

They’re just not comparable on desktop to the Adobe equivalents. There’s so many basic features missing right now and their forums mention they’re not planning to add some of them.

Had to go back to Adobe
