Thank you for sharing. I have been a Xara user for almost 20 years and have shared it with many people, but I switched to MAC 7 years ago with absolutely no regrets. I have recently been torn with upgrading Xara and now that I see Affinity - I think that is where I may be headed too. Will have to keep Xara for a while, because I have tons of files that were created using that software and don't have time to go and export all of them to another format. I have enjoyed XARA and the flexibility it has given me over the last 20 years.
