Yes, Affinity really is free. You can use every tool in the Pixel, Vector, and Layout studios, plus all of the customization and export features, as much as you want, with no restrictions or payment needed. If you’re on a Canva premium plan, you’ll also be able to unlock Canva’s powerful AI tools within Affinity.

I didn't say the GIMP is better for all use cases. I said it's better for my use case. And it's really weird for you to get this defensive when both applications are FOSS.

    I made a factual clarification and you were the one who got weirdly emotional after that.

    I think you've got that backwards.

    Not liking the name of the software I use and saying your preferred application is superior is better because it's prettier are emotional arguments.

    I stated that Krita doesn't do what I need it to do at the moment but would consider switching to it if it did.

    No, I made the factually true clarification of “Yes, the focus shifted to painting a bunch of years ago but Krita still started out as “KImageShop”. There are many image editing features available”

    Not liking the name of the software I use and saying your preferred application is superior is better because it’s prettier are emotional arguments.

    I made a technological argument about GTK the lack of proper cross-platform compatibility and that has absolutely nothing to do with prettiness.

    That you like software that insults people with disabilities is another matter but you cannot with a straight face claim that I did not make factually true arguments about image editing capabilities, technological downsides of GTK, and later the availability of certain plugins.

    I stated that Krita doesn’t do what I need it to do at the moment but would consider switching to it if it did.

    Nope, not in the comment I replied to:

    And I did not respond to you personal preferences stated in https://lemmy.world/comment/20267684. I made a clarification about the image editing capabilities. I did not quote the rest and I don't care about your personal preferences but at that point you were seemingly already emotionally riled up, so you did no longer grasp this detail.

    I made my point about the technological side I wanted to make. You now make it emotional. I'm muting this thread now.
