So even if it is the best at vector, it’s too expensive for individuals. I still like Coreldraw more but they pushed the price way too much for freelancers, they want you to get the subscription so much, they just made the perpetual really expensive. It was mediocre 5 years ago, and it is still mediocre and they still don’t fix bugs that have been there from release.īut I got Affinity software even if it sucks because it is cheap, but the past two years that has been almost no updates I use inkscape because Affinity Designer is mediocre at vector work, which it is suppose to be the job of Designer, but it is not good at pixels and not good at vector. Good release, the problem is we will not see another update this year and it still misses some important features to be used in a professional field, but it is pretty decent and capable.
