I love Xara - especially for its ease of use, but it is starting to get rather bogged down with the introduction of new features, which seem to require pop-up dialogue boxes in order to function. For me this breaks up the workflow, and can lead to loss of concentration by the user.

Looking at new features that are being introduced by the likes of Retro Supply and Vector Scribe that are being produced for Illustrator anf Affinity Designer, like Analogue Halftones ( https://raydombroski.com/blog/2018/4/4/analog-halftones ) and Grave Etcher Engraving Brushes for Illustrator, plus stuff from Artifex Forge and others, Xara seems to be being ignored, which begs the question - Why?

Answers on a postcard please - seriously though, why?
I have been thinking about this for some time and if a new kid on the block like Affinity can be recognised alongside other products like Procreate, for example, surely Xara ought to be inclued (leaving aside the fact that CorelDraw is in the same boat as Xara for the moment).

Perhaps someone at TG or at Xara can offer up reasons why this is the case.
