Hi developers, I only registered to this forum in order to quickly express my stunning disbelief about Serifs platform decision.
You create a promising and contemporary looking modern product line which is clearly geared towards graphics professionals and really limit it to just the Mac?
You do this in 2014 with a wide array of mature cross platform software and interface development tools available?
You want to address graphics studios who boycott Adobe's forced rental contract just with the Macintosh platform in mind?
You create a comprehensive new suite of Pixel and Vector tools and decide to disregard Adobe's unique selling point: To be the only vendor worldwide who offers a 100% identical suite of graphics tools on the 2 most important operation systems?
You have the fantastic chance to unify your already highly diverse product portfolio but instead decide to deal with the same development tasks twice, in two entirely separate product suites: And and you call this more efficient?
What firms do is of course entirely their business – but I can't bend my mind enough to remotely follow this logic.
Also the option to see Affinity features eventually dripple into your Windows tool Suite holds no promise. A wasted chance.
