I'm an ex Photoshop user - stopped using it when they moved to a subscription model. I'm an ex Sketch user, because I moved back to Windows (feel that Apple is ripping users off and I can get better choice, quality and performance elsewhere. I don't need shiny and thin and $20 cables that break often). I like Figma - amazing what the engineering team achieved there. But it's primarily an online app and I'm worried they might get acquired by some of the bigger companies. I'm now using Affinity Designer and Photo. It does most of the things I need. It has some minor UX annoyances (or maybe my Photoshop muscle memory is not fully overwritten yet). Maybe I'm one of the dying breed that prefers to have a native app with a perpetual license and the option to choose when to upgrade and being more in control. I'm not sure whether it's sustainable for Serif to charge $49 for an app. I'd be happy to pay more if it meant they could work on those other things mentioned here by others. EDIT: typos
