I switched to Affinity Photo a while ago. It took a little while to get used to it, but I don't miss PS at all now. Granted, I'm not a professional photog, but I've been using PS since it was released. I also have Designer, and it is quite good...although I don't know enough about Illustrator to be able to compare them. Adobe has gotten lazy and sloppy. The CC launcher/updater frequently needs to be reinstalled, and PS is slow in quite a few areas. Simple batch resizing photos in PS is a real chore because it only uses a single core. Affinity uses all of them, and the performance difference is pretty stark. Affinity frequently updates their products with new features. I purchased this product a few years ago and haven't been charged for new releases. Affinity allows 5 one serial to be installed on 5 machines. All of their products are for sale for 50% off.
