I gave up Adobe last year and switched to Affinity and Da Vinci Resolve for video editing. I never really used Illustrator too much so I can't comment about the differences. It was a learning curve for me to switch programs - that part was the most annoying.
I really can't complain about the differences.
The one thing Adobe did really well is After Effects... I miss it. But I'm getting used to Da Vinci Resolve's Fusion.
What Adobe features do you think are lacking in Affinity?
I agree, memory and muscle memories are hard to adapt after a long time (20+ years) using a software, and my memory is for sure still too tied to the Adobe way.
It is not a matter of missing features, but rather the accuracy of the tools or of the UI. Basic example: the cursor sometimes doesn't change when the modificator keys are pressed. Or with Photo I experienced bad antialiasing cutting some parts. I don't use Designer often, so I cannot comment it.
Yea I feel like learning a new program and getting used to it is definitely the most critical for a professional. There are certain shortcuts, commands and habits that just save so much time and adds to the end product.
That is disappointing to learn about the accuracy of tools. I wonder how responsive Affinity is. Maybe its worth bringing it up to their team?
