So this appears to be a successor to Flash? Yesterday I discovered flash was used to produce Rob Zombie's Dead Girl Superstar (2001) music video: https://youtube.com/watch?v=WpHViVML_4o https://youtube.com/watch?v=WpHViVML_4o I remember watching it on his flash-heavy website during that era, but it never occurred to me that it was anything more than just a recording converted to a flash video.

  Looks like Affinity?

    Also a more modern take on Inkscape.

      Not quite. Inkscape does solely vector editing and I'd seriously argue Inkscape lacks anything "modern", specially with its latest release.

        I really wanted to like Inkscape, though I found it very frustrating to use, the UI was clunky and felt really unpolished. Affinity Designer on the other hand is really nice to use, and didn't do a bunch of weird stuff exporting SVG files.

        For the longest time, the Mac version of Inkscape was effectively unusable due to a horrible UI port. I don't use Mac, but IIRC they did announce that it was revamped not that long ago. I wonder if that hurt its adoption since a lot of graphic designers use Mac, so their first impression of Inkscape would've been very poor?

        I have really enjoyed the Affinity apps. Really the only competitor left to Adobe. Unfortunately they have only a fraction of the resources of adobe and their development has slowed significantly over the years. Their product is just too cheap. It might as well be free. They charged something like less than $50 for a one time purchase and only required a paid upgrade recently after like 7 or 8 years.

  Fireworks. There was another product from Macromedia that was not Flash, the Macromedia Fireworks. Never thought it would go into oblivion so fast, given I always felt it's of a far superior paradigm than any of the Adobe products in many use cases. After Adobe bought Macromedia, they killed it with all the other Macromedia products in favor of their own.

It's more like they are trying to bring the nose-based workflow to 2D art. It's already very common in 3D and VFX.
