Sometimes a simple answer is the best.  Thanks for giving us a heads up!  I love Designer and Photo.  Such great tools.  Publisher is the tool I am looking forward most, but I understand without sufficient resources it is hard to do. I am grateful for all the hard work you are doing!!  

I had shied away from using Affinity Designer for any serious work basically because, as much as I'm not a fan of it, I am still more familiar with Illustrator CS6. However having familiarised myself with where most things are (that dreaded learning curve), I have come to the conclusion that this is at least as good as Illustrator CS6. In fact, other than the variable line thickness tool being slightly easier to manipulate in illustrator, I can't see where your App is behind compared to Illustrator. (as far as day to day use is concerned).
 
This is a serious piece of software, and I'm going to revisit Photo to see if I can learn my way up that curve too.
 
I seriously can't see why I'd need to go back to Illustrator. This App is now a permanent fixture in our Companies pipeline.
Slightly late with the Congratulations, but... Congratulations :) .... !!!  You are the new Adobe as far as I'm concerned :)

Awesome.  Thank you!

Hi csp, Shmoo,
The reality is that Photoshop has more than two decades of development. There's no way we can compensate for all that in just one year, so having this in mind is crucial to make a correct assessment of what to expect from a new app entering in the market. We are doing the best we can with the resources we have. Only with time we will be able to close the gaps and polish the application to the level we all want.
