I tend to support the small guys, knowing they don't offer everything the big guns do. But the big ones are the abusive ones, and Serif has thus far pleased me no end - feature- and price-wise. I'm happy to be Adobe-free, and I'm looking forward to more great Affinity features, while respecting the disappointment of those who expected more. For them there's always Adobe. 
In terms of money, my financial support of Serif is a given, for obvious reasons. I'm grateful Affinity exists, and offers what it does. Here's to more!

Buy Adobe. End of story. You can win awards without RTL. The world doesn't revolve around it.

Inform yourself before you buy. Don't come and bitch. Express some gratitude for all the effort made. I didn't bitch, and I got with V2 what I needed: footnotes and 3d mesh. Everything else is bonus. Happily paid for this new version. Looking forward to more! 

All editions, all platforms, no subscription. 120 Euro for the coming years. I paid over 200 for InDesign alone - for one year. It's a no-brainer - for me, and thousands of other customers, too.

For your info, I moved all my books from InDesign to Publisher/Designer, about half a dozen of them, then added another half a dozen in the suite. I got them all done, printed and published just fine - some with over 600 pages. Yes, there can be improvements, and I always posted them here in the forum. I'm happy to now have the book feature, footnotes and mesh warp. Very happy, in fact. 
To use the word "shameful" about this inexpensive and well-supported software suite tells a lot about you, and it's not complimentary. If you're frustrated, get over it and use something else. I'm sure you'll find something that suits you. Bad-mouthing Serif isn't getting you anywhere and isn't doing yourself any favour either.

That's life, I'm afraid. To expect perfection for this little money is delusional. Bugs will exist as long as software does, and yes, it would be nice if v1 was bug free. It isn't. Period. If you feel v2 is worth the cost, order it. If not, move on. Complaining here doesn't help or change anything. Good luck!

It is a very fair price. As for gas and electrical, make sure not to vote for democrats/socialists/communists and prices should be ok 🤣

I am VERY HAPPY to pay $99 for the Version 2 Universal License.  I will also pay for future versions. I am a happy customer and use these applications extensibly every single day. Kudos to Affinity and their entire teams; keep up the excellent work, and keep chipping away at the bug lists and feature requests.
