    Delusional? I’m sure you just mean to capture my attention, but you dont have to try like that.

    I’m not here to defend Adobe or praise their products. For the last 2 years I have done my best to get rid of them and finally, about a month ago I conceded and payed for the subscription again.

    Let me tell you, there is no software (none, 0), that can do half what photoshop can do and is less buggy. That doesn’t say, photoshop or any other Adobe product is not buggy and doesn’t have issues, it’s just a fact there is no competition.

    I say that completely confidently and with no delusion anywhere.

      Hmm. I was about to wade in on this one but fair enough.

      Personally, I’m probably not enough of a power user to need the sort of functionality you do but I said ‘Fuck Adobe’ some years ago and never looked back.

      I am, however, still on the hunt for a decent replacement for Aperture.

        Good luck. Really, I hope you find something. I’m working on these products for hours daily, I can’t afford to use something that will increase that time.

      What I don’t understand about people who say things like there are alternatives and point to open source software. Like I understand that most people have used nothing but Adobe since forever, but have you even tried using alternatives for actual work? It’s a frustrating experience.

        Yes! It’s just not as good and more importantly, it’s not good enough. At first I thought it’s because I’m not as familiar, but no, they are just not set up as good as Adobe. That’s the bottom line. Why waste time.

        Yes. Bought the whole package. I decided that this is the software for me and tried to use it. After two months, I gave up. It’s not bad, it’s just not as good. It just takes an extra click here and there, a function less here and there, an illogical here and there and that culminates to my work being done slower and me being annoyed. Affinity designer being the worst, missing auto tracing and messing up svg exports.

        Not to mention the new generative ai functions that are now natively in Adobe products. That’s literal gold. You can’t be a serious designer and not use that. That saves up so much time, it’s not possible to not have. Not possible. Adobe won. We can cry about it and whine, but they won. To bad, but it is what it is.

        And the subscription price. It’s easy to get 50% off on deals for the whole package. That’s about 35 per month. That is a negligible. That’s like less than an hour of work on a freelancers hourly rate.
