Hmmm...I noticed that the "roadmap" is from way back in 2014. The main reason I'm checking out making the leap from Illustrator to Affinity Designer is because the free transform/distort tool in Illustrator is hideous beyond belief. Take a look at this discussion to find out how NOT to make a distort tool: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/874423
But if there is no distort tool, just a parallel skew tool, then Affinity won't be much use to me. Please correct me if such a function already exists - I haven't yet installed the Windows beta version which I downloaded last week - it asked for all kinds of very old updates ("Platform Update for Windows 7 not found") to be installed and I've been crazy-busy and didn't have the time to check out whether those old updates would/wouldn't potentially screw anything up.
Are we likely to see an updated roadmap of what's coming soon/when/what's already implemented? It's not very reassuring seeing a 2014 roadmap showing features that haven't yet appeared, nearly two and a half years later.
