To be honoust; When reading and watching this about Adobe I am so happy I switched over to Affinity. There are some things they have to add and fixes to make, but I never forget how incredibly liberating it was to finally get rid of that ridiculous hostage licensing system. After leaving Adobe I could literally not open up any of my own design files anymore, which is pretty crazy. After paying thousands of euros to Adobe for years I couldn’t even watch my own designs anymore.
That said; hopefully Affinity will catch up soon in adding some missing features, 'cause it’s not perfect, but still it’s already a great alternative and you really buy the software; it’s yours. Forever!! And you get free updates even till the next mayor version. And it has some great features Illustrator doesn’t have and speeds up my workflow a lot, like automatic exporting artboards to different filetypes and resolutions while making changes to the layout.
