Free is not free when said product results in reduction of productivity.

I've tried to make Inkscape work, after ending my Adobe subscription. Conclusion - Inkscape is not worth it.

Just pony up $50 for Affinity Designer. Great app. Facilitates tremendous productivity

Huh. My experience differs. I have both Illustrator and Inkscape, and for certain tasks (e.g. stuff I want to be native SVG or making icons), I always go back to Inkscape because I find it faster/easier.

$50 is not $50 when it also requires Windows or Mac to even function.

It's too bad Affinity is probably never going to port to Linux. Esp. Affinity Publisher would be great. There's no good layout application for Linux.
