It’s not at the point where it’s a completely abusive marriage, it’s still less hassle than changing over the huge pile of graphic styles I’ve built for my current GN would be (~100p in volume 1, 5 or 6 total chapters of similar size of all goes well), I like having the font subscription (though I should look into ways to grab those out of wherever Adobe sticks then in case one I rely on gets pulled), there’s definitely things I’d miss if I went back to cs2 (transparent gradients, width profiles, multiple artboards, speed rewrites, pattern editing, god I would kill anyone who tried to make me do patterns the old way (does Affinity even HAVE patterns? It seems to only do bitmap patterns), gradient strokes, auto type area resizes, and that’s just looking at Wikipedia’s chart of features up to 2014) But it’s such a product of a bureaucracy, built by people who never use it, and who awkwardly interface with the people who do.
