Wine and other emulators are just a source for trouble! A native application would be great.

[Affinity products for Linux]

Well it's a sad decision Serif made here! LINUX isn't just nerds - not today! I do use it several Ubuntus daily and i do make my business with them. I got a lot of paid software up an running. I appreciate the Affinity tools they are good, easy to use and i would spend money for them too! But well .. i can't as of the "wrong OS".

 

I did use Macs before, but things won't get better for OS X and for me as a developer it's easier and efficient to use Ubuntu. Modern GUIs like Gnome are what OS X had been in the good old Lion/Snow Lion times and things just work. Something nowerdays OS Xes are far away from.

 

But sure as a developer i know the work that has to be done for e third plattform and you have to calculate the income against that. And as long as Serif thinks there will not be enough income there will be no third plattform for sure! Sad, but reality. Well i do still have an elder mac mini, but no it's not fun to use it for complex things as image or vector orientated work.

So up to now i have to use gimp and inkscape and i will continue to do so. Good tools are worth the money and i would pay them, as i do for IDEs, Editors, RemoteDesktop Tools, commercial versioning tools like GitKraken and many more. We have to wait and see.
