>Thankfully that didn't stop Serif with Affinity Photo. The main problem of the Affinity stuff is a lack of integration with professional niches and functionality that pros need for daily bread & butter work. E.g. not having an easy way to mock products (smart objects) renders it already unusable for most professional graphic designers. Instead of using the commonly used HSV color picker like in Adobe apps or Sketch, they go with HSL which isn't as intuitive. Many "small details" like that.. The devs seem to focus on overall functionality, specs and performance, not workflow specific functionality that makes tasks easier. The UI looks great, but is awkward to use. They seem to be more concerned about being perceived as alternative to Adobe products than actually being an alternative.
