I’d add that they often have steep sales, and Black Friday is coming, but also while affinity is an underdog their formats are just as closed source if not more so than Adobe
Until GIMP gets nondestructive adjustment layers, Krita is the closest. And it’s definitely not good enough. But Inkscape is very good. Blender is very good, even it’s broken VSE editor. Though Resolve is amazing and the pro version is ridiculously cheap at $300.
Yeah there’s no easy win, Affinity is the closest competitor but it’s worth keeping in mind that they’re not the anti-adobe, they’re not fighting for accessible open software, especially not since they’ve sold out to Canva.
I am still happy with my purchase and I think it’s a good deal tho esp on a sale, just worth the consideration.

It’s a one time purchase license, not a subscription. And the software is good.
