Agree with you 99%! > but I can really see Affinity being a lot more appealing to new artists. Even experienced ones! Affinity Designer et al. are fantastic! The workbooks they publish (advanced user guides) free video tutorials are great as well. And they have a much nicer community than Adobe -- much more clueful and helpful. In no way should my comment (that Adobe is better) be taken as even a hint of negativity towards Affinity. They fill different needs, or should I say, a different spectrum of needs. My main complaint is all the people griping about Adobe's subscription model. Who cares??? If Affinity is so good, use that instead! If you find you need the much richer feature set of Illustrator, guess what -- pony up. I personally wish that Affinity would either charge more or move to subscription. $50/yr really? I would love to pay $50/yr to see the most infuriatingly simple yet absent features get implemented. Especially now since I've been forced to Catalina and can no longer use my CS6 products. But that's not where we are, and doesn't give me grounds to complain that a product I want is expensive. > Illustrator is really, really ripe for disruption and self-driving cars are right around the corner ...
