Adobe's Black Friday Sale Takes 50% Off Creative Cloud Pro for Your First Year

Sure sure.

If that was true they would not have sold themselves to Canva. That showed how much they believed in their future that they sold the company like when Macromedia sold themselves to a bigger company.

Look, we have been through this for 30 years. In the mid 90s the Paint Shop Pro guys had Adobe Derangment Syndrome. 10 years later the GIMP guys had Adobe Derangement Syndrome. Then the Macromedia guys had Adobe Derangement Syndrome. Now it’s Affinity.

That is a Lite edition badly designed software and they charge you a subscription if you want the full edition which is like a chihuahua version of Photoshop.​

• Lite edition
• badly designed
• chihuahua

Well, then proof your points, if you're so sure.
Can you do more than just polemics in this case? I doubt it.

Payment is required only for AI if you want the new, not only the built in AI features. Otherwise all known functionality and more (V3 instead of V2) is free.

Unlike the past ones we have all lived through, the CEO and team behind Affinity is still there and actually steering the ship. It isn't like they sold themselves out and then walked away like so many others. They are still working towards their original vision for Affinity since they started. Serif was great for starting and taking their time to build it out but Canva has deep pockets and a separate revenue stream. Both companies have been very good, so far, with letting Affinity do their thing. Time will ultimately tell if Canva is a win win like Serif was.
