For visual design, I can see the value; a lot of people say Affinity is pretty great. The bummer for me is that there remains no great alternative for video. FCPX Resolve, by itself, is good to great, and Resolve's CG package, Fusion, is okay (don't love the editing model), but there isn't the kind of tight integration between components that makes bouncing between tools pleasant to use. Throwing a PSD into an AE composition and having a text-templated instance of the AE comp within a Premiere timeline is something I just never think about, while having to manually go bake intermediaries drives me up the wall. This week I tried to make a go of switching from Premiere to Resolve for real(tm), and I lasted like...two hours. Finding myself saying "but where are the buttons?" was maybe the first time I have felt truly old trying to use a computer. Adobe can have my $30/mo forever, I guess.
