Yeah I think it may be about now. And now that I think about it very few of the younger pro artists in my circles are using Adobe’s stuff, they’re using Clip Studio or Procreate for the most part.


The Affinity line of apps are also pretty great, and have (I think) full feature parity across desktop and iPad.


Affinity Designer not having DXF / DWG import export...

Is preventing me from using it in a professional capacity.

I purchased Affinity Designer without checking for the feature, and people have been asking for the feature for at least 5 years.

Edit to add the forum link I forgot to paste in:

I think a lack of support for spot colors was one of my sticking points, personally. That and 20+ years of Illustrator work to pull resources out of to make new images faster, and multi-year projects meticulously built to maximize re-use and speed, and honestly that's the killer feature for me at this point unless Adobe completely falls apart.

Not that Illustrator lacks its share of long-running requests, "rotate the view" has been near the top of their publicly-voted bug/feature request site ever since they opened it, and would be "picked up shortly" back in 2017. https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-...

(And I know I was asking for it years before they abandoned the old "here's a hole to put your bugs and feature requests into" setup.)
