Happily paying Affinity user here. It took a little getting used to but I haven’t used Photoshop in YEARS.

It's "free" since Canva bought it. They basically use it as funnel for people to buy Canva subscription (online sharing, ai features).

They keep adding features and recently added scripting which was one of the last things that kept professionals from using Affinity. And you can see it in industry (atleast graphic design) even big names are testing how to switch.
