Affinity Designer's speed performance is excellent, but suffers from workflow issues with building complex shapes. A shape builder tool would go a long way to improve the work flow.

The shape builder tool is a significant time saver and quality of life feature. I have used Adobe Illustrator since the 1990s and am used to both the old school booleans and the new shape builder tool method. The shape builder tool makes the process far more intuitive and enjoyable.

I have found that regardless of whether or not the icons I export need it or not Affinity Designer is adding the following styles "fill-rule:evenodd;clip-rule:evenodd;stroke-linejoin:round;stroke-miterlimit:2;". I have to use a code editor to manually remove the unnecessary styles before I use it on the web. This isn't terrible but it is an extra step. It would be great to see the export feature improved for web use.
