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.
