I feel as though I am being drawn to the other side...
Whilst I am still a fairly regular user of Xara365, I am unlikely to ever upgrade in the future.
Xara's future appears to differ greatly from mine, and I would rather work with Affinity Designer, which according to their roadmap seems a better fit for me.
I still use Illustrator CS6 and CorelDraw to a lesser degree, but I shall mainly concentrate on honing my skills, such as they are with the tools and programs at my disposal at present, rather than chasing after expensive software.
Good observations Bob.
