The affinity news kinda sucks. On the surface it looks like a good deal but there is a lot of historical precedence that this is just another step on a path to full enshittification of the software suite. This is not a move that will benefit users long term. Then again, such is the cycle of software.

As Matthias Ott explains very well, design tools come and go. Affinity tools have been fucking awesome for me for years. And they will continue to work fine for a while. I will set my sights on other tools soon. Stay curious and have a beginners mind.
