Really the best kind of black humors.
Since I renewed my subscription in April I got these famous and incredible new feauters for XDP for the cheap price of 149,- .

The whole clutter except the new PDF/X4 support is useless for a graphic artist like me.
Things that are important, such as Color management, editable brushes like in Corel, AI or Affinity, mesh fill tool, correct OT support, line width tool, line alignment: outside, middle and inside, improving styles, master pages, improving the tracer, give the brush painter better reaction and sensitivity and so on, and so on
Since Xara Xtreme are the wishes of users not been heard and useless things found their way into Xara Pro and XDP.
Whether ever the required improvements will be implemented in Xara knows God.
There are no meaningful answers from Xara / Magix and I believe there weren't in future.
149, - for content that I get for free on the internet (pixabay, FontAwesom, material icons, etc.) and objects that I can create myself is a clever way to pull the money out of the users pocket.
So I think it's time for me to say goodbye Xara, after 12 Years full love & hate is my willingness to continue paying no longer exists.
Maybe you can convince me yet Xara / Magix, but then please quickly my subscription ended April 2018.
