I use Affinity's apps and sometimes Krita, and Procreate on iPad for drawing. I haven't been able to completely switch off of photoshop yet, not because of features just because I am so used to the workflow for a lot of things, but it's a goal for next year.
I've been a super loyal Adobe fan for a long time. I would probably have kept using PS forever if they had just literally stopped developing it, but between moving familiar feature (randomly changing how scale-preserve aspect works??) and breaking everything (zoom and navigator is just super flaky nowdays, the text tool is completely bonkers lately). Some of the stuff they added is useful, the embedding "smart layers" was helpful for a few things but caused me some headaches too, but I don't really care to relearn everything.
They're really bad at the "We made this better" thing, for example, the new brush tools are certainly better and i guess a big improvement, but was doing a lot of digital painting years ago and now just use it occasionally and I don't know how to use them, and all the old skills I had are gone. I'm sure I would agree that almost every change would be better if I had the time and motivation to relearn them but, if I have to take the time to relearn something I'm just going to relearn the hot new thing (like Procreate) instead.
