I switched from adobe to Affinity long time ago but since a couple of months I’m using an Adobe subscription anyway for AI stuff.
As a big time affinity fan, I would just stay with adobe than using subscription based Affinity products.
Lesson learned. Never trust a company. The main focus is always profit and nothing else. There are no good companies until they are forced to be. Period.

It seems inevitable they will switch to the subscription model. I'm already starting to prepare for it by moving my files to Adobe. No sense on making my library larger with their tools only to have to convert more files later.

If they turn it into a subscription, then there's no reason for me to not just go back to Adobe. 
This feels like a nail in the coffin.

What’s going on??? Can someone please explain from Affinity’s point of view.  

Hi All,

I am thrilled to announce that Affinity is joining the Canva family.
This is a moment of great excitement, anticipation, and profound gratitude for all of you who have been part of our story so far. 
We know that those of you who’ve put your faith in Affinity, some since we launched our very first Mac app, will have questions about what this means for the future of our products. Since the inception of Affinity, our mission has been to empower creatives with tools that unleash their full potential, fostering a community where innovation and artistry flourish. We've worked tirelessly to challenge the status quo, delivering professional-grade creative software that is both accessible and affordable. 
None of that changes today.
In Canva, we’ve found a kindred spirit who can help us take Affinity to new levels. Their extra resources will mean we can deliver much more, much faster. Beyond that, we can forge new horizons for Affinity products, opening up a world of possibilities which previously would never have been achievable. 
Canva’s revolutionary approach to design democratisation and commitment to empowering everyone to create aligns perfectly with our core values and vision. This union is a testament to what can be achieved when two companies that share a common goal of making design accessible and enjoyable for everyone come together. 
I want to express my deepest gratitude to our incredible Affinity team. Your passion, dedication, and relentless pursuit of excellence have been the driving force behind our success so far, and I can’t wait to continue this journey with you all. 
To our loyal users and the creative community, your support and feedback have been invaluable. You’ve inspired us to push boundaries and continuously improve, and we’re excited to embark on this new chapter together. 
The future is bright, and I am incredibly excited to continue our story together and create a world where design is within everyone's reach.
With heartfelt thanks,
Ash

We have made four pledges to the Affinity community which you can read here. We have included some FAQs at the bottom of the announcement article here. A video message from me with some more background is on YouTube here. This announcement post is locked, but I have included a duplicate of it in the questions forum here which you can respond to.

Thanks a lot!  Paragraph Panel was not activated. One value was set to a bigger number than 0. Now it seems ok.

What do you have in the Paragraph panel, especially for Space After and Space Before values?
