Yes. Bought the whole package. I decided that this is the software for me and tried to use it. After two months, I gave up. It's not bad, it's just not as good. It just takes an extra click here and there, a function less here and there, an illogical here and there and that culminates to my work being done slower and me being annoyed. Affinity designer being the worst, missing auto tracing and messing up svg exports.

Not to mention the new generative ai functions that are now natively in Adobe products. That's literal gold. You can't be a serious designer and not use that. That saves up so much time, it's not possible to not have. Not possible. Adobe won. We can cry about it and whine, but they won. To bad, but it is what it is.

And the subscription price. It's easy to get 50% off on deals for the whole package. That's about 35 per month. That is a negligible. That's like less than an hour of work on a freelancers hourly rate.
