Now the Affinity suite is free. This doesn’t mean I’ll give up Krita, but programs like Inkscape and Scribus will probably take a backseat in my workflow. Although, when I’m on Linux, I won’t be able to use Affinity natively. Do you intend to adopt Affinity or let it adopt you?
Affinity is just weak (extremely weak) in term of drawing and painting. That’s it.
Since I’m a painter there’s nothing that Affinity has to offer for me. My husband already was a regular Affinity user and was kinda surprised that it was announced to be free now and he thinks it’s a bad sign since he also doesn’t trust the company that bought them recently. Of course he’s happy to not pay for new versions anymore but he suspects more is about to happen that will make it worse again, based on experiences with other major players in creative software in recent years.
What could this bad sign be?
As far as I know, it seems that the software itself is free, but additional AI services are charged.
