I’ve been using Affinity’s Photo and Design fo desktop and ios since they were released (as you may know I periodically review Adobe substitutes because I hate subscription pricing).
They’re both solid products and do the job. The both have a ludicrous set of features. But they’re both very much built in Adobe’s mould — big, complex, kind of sluggish, with functionality hidden in odd nooks and crannies. Most of my bitmap-image-editing needs are met by Acorn, which seems like a product from the future compared with anything from Adobe or Serif. Acorn is up and productive while both of these are still showing you a loading screen.
I still haven’t found a vector editor I like as much as Illustrator, which itself never came close to the ease of use of the long-lamented Freehand.
