Hi, I have hears really good things about affinity and I like it a lot so far, but the one thing which is making it hard to use is the lack of a smoothing tool. I can imagine that no auto trace will become an issue too. The smoothing tool for any intuitive drawing is imperative as it saves so much time. These are perhaps small things but will stop me being able to use it as a replacement for Illustrator. Hope you can make one soon!
Thanks
