Nobody mentioned Adobe yet. They’re absolutely the worst. They offer creative products behind a 70$ / month paywall and they hold a monopoly in their field. Only need their software sporadically? Sorry, no plan for you.

They haven’t significantly updated some of their software in like 20 years. I currently have the displeasure of using After Effects again and apart from not even supporting system dark mode on macOS or even fullscreen mode, there are all kinds of weird small bugs that you just get used to when using the software for a while.

Fuck Adobe.

Remember kids. It is always morally correct to pirate adobe products.

I'm a graphic designer and honestly, been thinking long and hard about switching to Affinity. Affinity Designer even seems like it would streamline most of my workflow.

I switched to Affinity! It's great. Not all of the features are there but most of them. It's also much less buggy and the interface is way better thought out.

They don't make a replacement for After Effects though, that's why I'm stuck with it for one project.
