Haha! Not my intention at all, sorry! ^_^ We'd obviously asked some creatives - not all of them (otherwise you would doubtless have been quizzed, hehe)
I like the idea of a sticky-shortcut key stroke for the canvas clipping toggle, thanks! :)
If all what you are looking for is issues in the software, that's issues you will find. Most people have accepted that neither customisable shortcuts nor the pasteboard area are available yet - knowing they will be added soon -, have moved on and are actively using the software to create and find solutions to move their projects forward until those features become available.
If in your case, this is not enough for anything other than primitive vector design, there's nothing stopping you from going back to your previous software and try Affinity again a few months later when those features are probably available if you want.
Trying to argue based on your assumptions of why things work the way they work in Affinity will not lead to anything productive. You're not aware neither the motivations nor the constraints the developers find/found during the development.
Meanwhile we are seeing illustration work being showcased, icons and websites being designed and even printed material/finished products being shown on the Share your work section despite the fact there's also still professional printing features missing. This is not just about software, it's also about people's attitudes.
Both customisable shortcuts, and the pasteboard area were acknowledged and added to the roadmap even before you have signed in here - because we also recognise their importance and the inconvenience they may cause when missing - but they are far from being "fundamental failures" and they didn't stop people who have embraced the software to create things and move forward.
aitte reacted to MattP in Affinity is NOT Adobe!
