  1. Been lurking here a while, figured I should start posting ;) I'm really liking Affinity Designer so far and glad to see many of my would-likes on the roadmap and many more already discussed and on the radar, but there are a few core things I'm really missing as a long time Illustrator user - and I mean long time - since version 88! I admit some of this stuff is ingrained but I'm trying to keep an open mind and shifting my workflow as needed... 1. First I'll add my vote for transforms around an arbitrary origin, and treating node selections like first-class objects. Working without these features can quickly lead to frustration. 2. A key combo to delete selected nodes but also break the curve and delete attached segments (maybe option-delete?) Achieving this right now requires a selection, click on a toolbar button, another selection, and finally hitting delete. Ugh. 3. A toggle in the layer palette to quickly disable/enable all effects on a layer/object, or even a key combo like shift or option-clicking the "fx" icon. I find I use this a lot in Photoshop while tweaking shapes or just for A/B comparison. 4. "Apply Transform" function to destructively apply current transforms a curve object's nodes and reseting the transform. Right now everything has a "Convert to Curves" function but that seems to do nothing on objects that are already curves. You can stuff objects into new groups/layers to kinda handle this right now but that quickly gets messy. 5. This is more of 3D app convention, but a user interface option to make scrollwheels zoom by default would compliment the middle-click-drag panning nicely. Addressing the first 3 alone would help us Adobe old timers greatly :D
