    Xara really turned the wrong way. It was the best graphic design and illustration program. Now it is the Monster of Frankinshtein, which is developing in the wrong direction. It’s a pity that you are closed to offers. I wrote to Xara many times about adding new functionality, but they didn’t even answer me. I also went to Affinity - they listen to their users.

    Having visited Gaddesden place (very long ago, must have been in 1996) I know exactly which roundabout you talk about. And I certainly giggled at Panchdara's comparison of the strategy CC is following these days. For Rob-Xar; yes, once you're head over heels into driving these roundabouts and the ways to handle them are simple. But for us, mere mortals (who even don't drive left-handed...) these turns are intricate, to say the least ...
    IMHO XDP is a wonderful product that should be developed with the user and userbase put before anything else. You've lost quite a few along the way with the turns you've made in these last few years.

I am sick of the goal posts constantly being moved, heightened, narrowed and removed. The way you change things, reword things and generally don't give a sh!t about long term users, you should be ashamed. All you care about is the almighty $. XDP is a simple, easy to use program - Affinity has some other challenges, but it is a living, breathing beast - XDP is an old, tired and expensive relic.

    I won't even kiss you goodbye - just have to spit out the horrid taste you've left in my mouth.
    My backup rig is Mac. Affinity Designer and Photo, and Sparkle for the web. A new program that has a bright future.
