Adobe suite. After effects, illustrator, inDesign etc

Adobe in the above fields of design are industry leaders, and have the features & functions we’ve come to rely on.

Adobe’s pricing model has become very aggressive, and quite unaffordable for lots.

Photopea is a decent alternative for light personal / hobby use if anyone is interested.

This is something I hate to love and love to hate. I can avoid MS Office, but I can’t avoid Adobe like Lightroom that is my 2nd nature and hard to completely replace (too much is tangled together.)

It's so true. I'm using affinity for image editing these days but it's just a shadow of photoshops ease of use and power. Fuck paying for ps though.

Which features from Photoshop do you miss on Affinity?

Adobe is good SW for pro work. It is terrible in pricing and terms of use. Worst is that it is not for Linux.

Don't forget that they basically want to you to install a rootkit (Adobe Genuine Service) now because even with cloud activation they still have a growing pirating problem.
