1. Snapping and distributing I still cannot find how to distribute objects in equal gaps. The "Snap to gaps and sizes" option is always disabled in snapping menu, and there is no distribute option in the align menu. No object distribution=no use in web designing. After all, this shouldn't be a feature users should worry about - just make it work (by default) like Keynote or Sketch. 2. Cropping the canvas What do you think of this button? Resize the canvas, right?
This convention dates back from Microsoft Paint and even earlier. Affinity Designer is the first software that doesn't behave this way. I understand that you can export parts of the canvas by slicing, but just walk into every museum, you will find canvas size and shape have a great effect on art expression. And changing canvas size should be able to be done without inputing numbers.
3. Editing Bitmap files
Drag a png/jpg file into the canvas, and you'll find you can't edit it - you need to "Rasterize" it. That's because stupid designers - those who are too lazy to learn to use a new software - shouldn't be able to edit bitmap files.
4. Deselecting in Pixel Persona
You made a selection and made some edits, now you "habitually" switched to rectangular marquee tool and clicked on the blank region of the canvas, and nothing happened. Yes, you need to learn Cmd+D, you stupid designer.
5. Where is my magic wand?
Am I the only person who need a magic wand? Since we don't have "trace bitmap image" for now, can't I even remove the transparent pixels from my bitmap?
