I even bought an Affinity license to see if I could at least get out from under Adobe's greasy thumb, but a huge part of my work is restoring vintage illustrations, which means I need to be able to set the White Point of a given image to shift colors away from yellowed paper.
Affinity does not have the ability to set White Point. So I checked the forums and found this: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/10589-set-white-point-photoshop-style/ — this was posted 8 years ago, and still absolutely nothing from the Affinity devs. Since I figured out I couldn't do White Point, I haven't opened Affinity again, not even once. Money down the drain.
Meanwhile, Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign just keep getting slower, and more bloated, and slower, and more bloated, and... repeat ad infinitum 🤢
