PDF is a vector format
PDF is not format at all. It is just a container that keeps the files together to be easily viewed or printed on different computers and OS's. All objects are in their native formats (vectors, bitmaps).

I'm not sure if this (if you mean some sort of on the fly "conversion of 1-bit TIFF to path" to deal with it) will actually meet the needs (as to pixel perfet accuracy) of those users really needing the 1-bit feature.
My way of thinking is, if you have traced the bitmap, why would you need the image any more. As you know, vector files have more advantages over bitmaps and you can import it very easy into any image as layer if you ever need to.

It hadn't seen it this way so far, but once you think of it, this actually seems plausible. Even if you'd certainly like to have a couple of helpful options for best results with a decent tracing tool (as there are e.g. in AI) it's probably related as to its basic functionality.
And when bitmap trace tool will be introduced, it could be the solution for 1 bit image problem in Photo.

(For example, all acronyms can be in small caps, even if you need to define some exceptions.)
But acronyms are usually typed in ALL CAPS by the author and in that case it is impossible to convert them into small caps with GREP, unless you rewrite them manually first.

but it also is a super easy thing to add
If it IS easy to add than, IMO, they would be very close to bitmap trace tool.

I would like to see FreeHand way of drawing straight lines and curves by using one tool only.

It would be handy if Designer had the functionality to set row height and gutter height, specifically to create an 8pt grid system. Currently there is only one gutter size setting for both columns and rows.
I asked for this feature long ago, too, but still no answer.

In Illustrator, most of them are global
1. In QuarkXPress and InDesign the colors are "global" by default. No "local" at all. I'm not sure about Illustrator and Photoshop.
2. I would like to see applying fill with left click and stroke with the right click of the mouse in Affinity. -
I prefer the way equations are build in Word, than LaTeX. It is more intuitive and no need to memorize phrases used for creating them.

I think if you use "we" then "they" and "their" should be "us" and "our".

By a strange coincidence, today (Friday, March 14th) is the last day to watch Monk on Netflix.
</off-topic>Yes, I know and because of that I canceled my Netflix subscription.

Gain Map creation and support needs to work with standard JPG, AVIF, JPEG-XL and HEIC.
JPEG-XL is not completely supported in Affinity. It exports only flatten image, not with layers.

In Affinity Designer 2, when I create a new artboard, the words in the name appear correctly separated, but the number assigned to the new artboard appears attached to the last word.
Why don't you simply rename the artboard?

I assumed you would already know that PhotoLine supports Raw, Petar, but I wasn’t sure if you were aware of the latest improvements in that area:
In other words, does PL have the same RAW tools or more or less as Photo.

Please see: https://www.pl32.com/pages/rnote11.php
Thanks @Alfred, I know that PL supports RAW. What I don't know is the support better than Photo's or not?

Delightfully so.
I am just not aware of, if PhotoLine supports RAW files better than Affinity Photo?

PhotoLine also offers some extremely breathtaking customisation and key binding. You can bind keys for practically anything. Have custom tool bars. Change what appears where. Change how things appear. Change size of UI. Change icon styles. Endlessly. It's like friggin fractals. Almost too much. Written by 2 German brothers.
Mind you, PL is more than a photo editor. It also does vector. It also does basic DTP and has features that affinity publisher still lacks. Barcodes for instance. Vector patterns.
PL is available for Mac too. There goes another excuse.
It is also portable. ZIP size for WIN is 37 MB and needs only 100 MB on disk.

And yes, it can import MS Publisher files, among other things.
Wow, what a big list of import options. I think they missed Ventura, but anyway, it would be nice to have them in our Publisher.

In the future he may well need Photo as well, as that has many more pixel tools than Designer!
Depends on him, how much pixel based tools he will need.

PDF is neither vector format like AI, SVG, CDR..., nor bitmap format like TIF, JPG... because it deals with all of them.
