The community in forum offers so many cool ideas to you. And you have not done useful tools for a long time.
TBH, the least "cool ideas" come from communities, but from people who know the market, and who know what the professionals want.
The "community" in most cases has no idea about that.

You haven’t had updates for a long time, but before that you did the update twice a year.
The last "official" update for APhoto was pretty much half a year ago... apart from, as has been mentioned, the beta updates.

I was wondering. Why is in the Pixel Persona in both Designer and Photo, lines are so pixelated?
Well, it isn't called the "Pixel" Persona for nothing.
Sorry, had to.

Ah... well, that's a great way to test the "waters" then (the family sharing).
-
By all means demo it thoroughly before switching. Nobody here can tell you which features you need, and whether APhoto can replace Photoshop for you.
-
The question is whether or not the missing features really have been planned.
Of course, i agree. I don't think a software will ever be "complete", but, yeah, there's definitely the one or the other pretty vital thing i still am missing in APhoto, which is the only one i own, apart from PagePlus.

... for taking as much time as it is needed to get Publisher ready, and for not pushing a unfinished version, and also pushing the 1.7 updates for Photo and Designer.
Really not natural in times where many companies need to account for "I want the new version now!!!" customers, who have no patience, and then complain about buggy and unfinished products, when the companies give them what they want. Really wished that was more common. Devs should take all the time a software needs before releasing it, to make sure it's rock solid, and has all the features which were planned.

It's things like the one described in the OP, which still made me keep Photoshop Elements 13 installed... i mean, seriously. This is a must have feature, to easily be able to stroke the contour of the selection. I really think that should be added to APhoto as quickly as possible.
Edit: The Ellipse tool works perfectly though.

Just been watching the Snooker Tour Championship Live and Ronny O'sullivan was sporting the Affinity Logo and name, go Ronny.
Nice catch. Actually, i'm watching his match vs. Judd Trump right now on Youtube.

Oh come on... the devs are way more responsive than other devs in this business.
Try to get some Adobe, or Corel dev on the line. Good luck.

I bought this a while ago to output PDF's from Word (which has very few features, and a bad image quality, when it comes to PDF export...): https://www.tracker-software.com/product/pdf-xchange-standard
Does everything i need, can't speak for you of course, might miss something.

This is not a matter of simple "chicken or the egg". If that were so, someone would have released a successful high level design application on Linux by now.
Ex-actly.

About the point whether or not Mac or Windows users are "hurt" by a potential Linux version: Yes, of course it would hurt existing users, because money and effort would have to be redirected towards a Linux version. It would also hurt Serif's business in the long run, and probably raise product prices.
-
Ok, so now that you've said that the most relevant things are irrelevant, what's left there to argue about? For Serif, the only thing that matters is how many people would buy their software. Even with $500.000 crowdfunding (which is a total laugh... ridiculous to believe they'd get that for a native Linux version), they'd still have to sell their software to the Linux people.
-
The market is pretty obvious. Take a look at how many people in artistic professions use Linux. Take a look at the world wide distribution of Linux on home and work PC's. Take a look, analyze, and learn. I have issues believing Linux people really do that though, judging by how many of such threads surface online, where most of the Linux people are.

@chakko007 @j0e.org I think the Linux folk around here are problem solvers and probably know the market better because of their network of Linux using professionals who are all searching for the same solution. At the same time, Windows users here are unbelievably fierce in wanting to have the last word with their unconstructive campaign of repeating a clear "NO" embedded in a nice warm lack of arguments while simultaneously pretending they don't care. I don't quite understand what motivates them so religiously in their calling to stifle any discussion and wishful arguments among Linux users. It's like Scott (Linux user) versus Dr. Evil (Windows user).
I really don't know if you're serious about this post (i really have a hard time figuring that out), but, there was a clear "No" from the Affinity developers, and, Linux users are once again not willing to accept that. Or any rational and economical argumentation.

What are the big issues?
The biggest issue is probably that the Linux crowd doesn't understand the basic principles of running a business. Or doesn't want to hear those.

A very sensible post, with which i wholeheartedly agree. Gotta stay realistic with the expectations.

That would annoy me, too. I occasionally use PSE 13, and numerous other 32-bit applications, on my 64-bit Windows 10 system.
PSE 13 is 64-bit though.

Lovely thread.
And, yes, it would be weird if Affinity didn't conform to really basic desktop principles.

Ah, good old "starts discussion - doesn't have an counter-argument - claims doesn't have time to "explain" and has better things to do anyways" case.
Rather the good old "Can't be arsed to spend time on discussing with a religiously indoctrinated person who won't listen to rational arguments anyway".
Feel free to go on anyway. I have a feeling no matter what i say, you won't stop anyway.
