I like Affinity products. They replaced all my photoshop/illustrator needs for webdev and it was so easy to switch. The fixed license cost was great too. Now I'm worried that the typical scenario is going to unfold where Canva makes sweeping changes, replaces product vision and licensing model.

I guess I can keep using the current versions for a while, until they stop the updates.



Yeah, I love their Designer and Publisher products. Haven’t used Photo really because I already used Pixelmator Pro but it also looks good, and between those and Final Cut Pro and DaVinci Resolve i’ve cut Adobe out of my life.

So this is a super worrying announcement. I really hope they don’t screw up Affinity - I really wonder how long they can hold off the temptation to let them do what they do without screwing it all up and killing the product line…


Same for me, replaced f** Adobe, too expensive, too greedy
