![]() Then you know they are not a tech company and that the ambition is sales sales sales. And contains algorithms that don't match the algorithms of that time in products from a company that were actually founded back then, in 1987. Personally, I find it impossible to ignore that Publisher lacks features I could use in Aldus Pagemaker in 1990 (!), and that Designer lacks features that were in several illustration programs in the early 1990s. In any case, I constantly see their (young) customers blinded by an almost cult-like illusion of how hard it is to make software in 2022 and that Affinity represents the latest technology. ![]() That's my impression after talking to their developers, and after reading their posts on their forum. My biggest concern is that Serif even really believes they are innovating. The biggest news with Affinity was probably that the Plus series bugs died with the Plus series. 2-3 new features, little improvements in every update, but also devastating bugs that are never ever fixed. That's how they updated and sold the Plus series, and that's how they develop Affinity. ![]() ![]() That's exactly how the company has been developing and marketing software since at least 1990, when I first heard about Serif. Also it seems to me that the smaller feature requests we've been posting on their forums for years went mostly unnoticed. They basically updated the UI, added a couple of new features in each app (some of them – like the vector Warp – are quite buggy) but didn't do much to fix the old bugs from v1. I'm a big Affinity supporter, but they botched the release of version 2. ![]()
