They doubled the price before offering the 40% discount. Add on the wasted money already paid a few months ago for V1 and it's not even close to 'reasonably priced'.

No,' they're' annoyed that Affinity isn't doing what every other software company does and offering agreater loyalty discount for existing users, especially those who wasted their money just a few months ago, on a version that is now obsolete and will receive no more updates of any kind even if there's a security flaw. Every software company gives a larger discount for existing users, except Affinity. It's standard. You'll be annoyed too if they bring out v3 in 5 months time and your v2 is suddenly obsolete. I completely wasted the money I spent a few months ago on v1. If I hadn't bought v1 then, I'd have the money to buy v2 now. By the time Christmas is over and I can save something, the price will be completely out of reach. Being attacked by rich people for not being rich is also not improving the company's reputation.

Another +1 for dxf import. We'll be needing new software soon to replace an old version of Corel Draw and AD was a likely possibility until I discovered that it has no support for dwg/dxf.. Question - is it possible to copy objects in Autocad and use paste or paste special to get them into AD? This is how I currently get them into CD and into Word. I found that if I draw a box around the area at a known size, make sure that all linetypes are continuous and all polylines have zero width, select the box and everything inside it, I can paste (into Word) or paste special (into CorelDraw) and the objects come through in editable condition. I then just have to explode, select the boundary box and contents (and delete a transparent canvas), size the boundary box, and align it and I have everything to scale and correctly positioned. Sounds more complicated than it is. Might that be possible in AD? Sadly, I can't install AD on my work PC(where I have CAD) and I don't have CAD on my home laptop, so I can't test it out.
