That's what you get when taking things too seriously.
You've completely misunderstood my words. It is because I fully realize how limited our lives are and that planning only goes so far, that I live each day to the fullest I can. That I enjoy every little moment, every experience, every encounter (that includes negative ones). Anyone who knows me in my real life knows me for my unbridled optimism.
And I look at the universe and the world with that same hope and optimism; and awe as if I were still a child. We don't know what we don't know. As conscious beings we are but an infinitesimal part of the whole that is the universe, a part that coalesces like a tiny vortex in a river that appears and seamlessly merges back in a infinitesimal moment, yet we still fill it through our uniqueness and influence the next moments, even if we exist but for that short moment.
Being aware of this interconnection and fragility liberates one to a tremendous freedom. The world is wonderful and existence fragile. If more people would fully realize this, humanity wouldn't make such as mess.
Anyhoo... Back to our regular programming 🙂
Only the future will tell us how this Canva story will unfold for Affinity. As I said, I hope for the best, and expect the worst.
Affinity's continued development falls outside my tiny sphere of influence. I've purchased V1 and V2, and will purchase V3 hopefully (see what I did there?).

Just for testing: also works fine in PhotoLine when anti-aliasing is turned off.

Affinity doesn't do aliased very well in my experience. Perhaps it will be fixed in the future, but this issue has come up before, so...

Draw the first shape with the pen. Then activate "Add New Curve to Selected Curves Object" in the pen tool options.

The next curve will be part of the same vector layer. But if you change colour of either the fill or the stroke, all shared vector objects will change colour.
The behaviour that you @Sreng Pagna want isn't possible in Designer as far as I am aware. Flash and Moho work differently with vectors in that regard. In Moho and Flash multiple vector elements may exist on the same "layer" and each element may have its own stroke and fill settings.
In other vector illustration software (Illustrator, Affinity Designer, VectorStyler, Inkscape, etc.) this is typically not the case: unless a vector shape is a separate object, i.e. on its own 'layer', these shapes will share the same stroke and fill settings.
Animation software that works with vectors tends to work slightly different. OpenToonz also allows for multiple vector objects on the same layer while each shape is assigned its own colour settings.
I suppose the "sublayers" are hidden from the user in Moho, Flash, and OpenToonz.
In the end it doesn't matter: when you draw multiple shapes in multiple vector layers in Affinity Designer, export your work as SVG and import as SVG in Moho. Moho will import these as a singular vector layer (delete the bitmap layer at the bottom after import).
Then continue as you did before in Moho.
So the fact that Designer works with different vector object layers doesn't have any impact after import into Moho.

Of course we plan ahead. Yet expect our plans to be thwarted at every turn and hope for lady luck to deign us her favour. And doubt is our guide.
All the while we take care to avoid taking ourselves too seriously, because our ending is just around the corner and our time on this tiny planet in a tiny corner in our unimaginably big and old universe represents but an infinitesimal flicker and is even quicker forgotten.
So we laugh back at the gods! And learn of the purpose of the universe in a blade of grass.

Man plans, the gods laugh!

As a devoted user and enthusiast, I've always shown immense loyalty to the apps I use, sticking with them through thick and thin. It took a significant amount of frustration for me to even consider switching platforms. My journey with Adobe began in 1994, but the introduction of Creative Cloud (CC) marked the beginning of my dissatisfaction. After a year of using CC, I was troubled by the realization that discontinuing my payment would mean losing access to all my cloud-saved documents and apps. This felt like Adobe was coercing me into a perpetual subscription, prompting me to explore alternatives.
I experimented with several apps like Graphic for vector work, Pixelmator for raster graphics, Rapidweaver for web development, and iStudio Publisher, but initially, they didn't quite measure up. However, when Adobe bluntly announced a price increase, essentially forcing users to accept the hike or lose their data, it was the last straw for me. I canceled my subscription and began a frantic search for replacements. Options ranged from CorelDraw to running Adobe CS6 on older Macs—I was desperate. Serif, at the time, had a tarnished reputation, known for dated design apps that seemed more suited for crafting clipart or printing business cards on home printers. Everything changed with the debut of Affinity Designer.
Though I approached it with skepticism, it became clear that this was the lifeline my business needed. Affinity Designer, alongside Pixelmator, allowed me to continue servicing my clients, gradually integrating other Affinity tools until my business regained its footing. While many flock to Canva, viewing it as user-friendly, I find it lacks the professional robustness necessary for serious design work, often yielding amateurish, uniform results. The acquisition of Affinity by Canva was an astonishing development, raising concerns that the excellence I had come to rely on might be diluted by Canva's more populist, less professional approach. Yet, part of me hopes that perhaps Affinity's influence could steer Canva towards becoming a formidable contender to Adobe, reshaping the landscape of design tools.
Despite these uncertainties, my commitment to Affinity remains unwavering. These tools have been indispensable to my livelihood, and I'm prepared to stand by them until given a reason to do otherwise, much like my eventual departure from Adobe.

It's literally a Windows 95 wallpaper with some text slapped around and Fx applied. I almost said something about it last night, but I didn't want both of us having nightmares.

@SallijaneG You feel that looks anywhere close to acceptable?
...how times are a-changing...
 

@SrPx Words are merely words. Actions will prove their value in the upcoming 1 or 2 years.
Then we shall see what worth these words have.
As always: hope for the best, expect the worst.
Cheers!

Well, Affinity always has been (and still is) a secondary app for myself. My main hub is PhotoLine. I also use Clip Studio EX and Krita.
For myself I consider PhotoLine the only real alternative to Photoshop, mainly because 1bit image support is lacking in Affinity, and I need that for my work.
And PhotoLine also offer a good solid set of vector editing tools. While PhotoLine doesn't support AI tools, I now use Krita with its free AI plugin to balance that out together with its painting tools (which are okay in PhotoLine, but can't compete with Krita or Affinity). Clip Studio EX I use for comic work and publication.
To me PhotoLine is that Swiss knife app that holds my workflow together. And does it well. Affinity never was able to.

Ah yes: "pledges". Like the ones given when Zbrush was acquired by Maxon. Did not take long to conveniently forget about those after one slender release. Then full subscription.
Or past pledges given by Maxon and Autodesk. Or Adobe. Or Unity...
Pledges by companies mean NOTHING in contexts like this one (buyout).
Where were these pledges when the buyout was announced? Right, not on their minds. The community rears up in arms in response, which is utterly predictable.
Management and ex-owners of Affinity don't feel good about themselves. "People are mad with us!" "Look at all that negative publicity! Oh no!"
So "pledges" are conceived and published to allay public fears of the populous. Now small part of loyal user base quiet down and help quiet down most of the unrest. "Have no fear, friends! Management has explained that there is nothing to fear! All will be well!"
Two years later the first release without perpetual. And/or bloatware. And/or hardly any worthwhile updates anymore.
We will see. If history taught us anything so far: these pledges mean NOTHING. Only ACTIONS. And these actions so far have been...
disappointing.
