This last thing would kill Adobe

[tripplejaz]

I recently have had to pick up the Adobe suite again for the agency I work for (standardized uses across industry, etc).

Illustrator seems like it's put together with sticks and bubblegum, built on a lattice of styrofoam. I have a decent computer and it randomly crashed while image tracing. I had to Google a variety of very basic functions (duplicating layers, combining shapes) because the layout and tools available by default hide everything from you. Selecting and editing anchor points is just better in Designer.

I've avoided it until yesterday when I had the deprivilege of opening it up for the first time in probably a decade for a single use: Image Trace. I cannot tell you how ugly, non-user-friendly Adobe software is compared to Affinity. There is just no competition. The last thing Designer needs to really put Illustrator 6 feet under is Image Trace, which given the 2.6 Beta moving towards a non-gen AI tool based approach seems we're not far from that being implemented. Please Affinity, for the sake of all our sanities, grant us this final tool.

As a reminder: Inkscape has an excellent Image Tracing features, and moving an image from there to Designer is just a matter of Copy & Paste.

Someone else thinks that some other feature is the "only one" still needed to "kill" Adobe.

Yet another person thinks it is yet another feature.

You are all wrong.  It is actually a different feature altogether.  One that hasn't been invented yet.
