Nice to see Xara get a mention..

... You guys are a mean-sprited lot of so and so's !

You seem to have a poorer opinion of me than I do of Xara. I find that odd. I don't think I misrepresented Xara--the company or its products--and certainly wasn't "mean-spirited" about either.

In any case, I'll leave the thread.

TG is here to help users, and prospective users; it is not here to push xara/magix product willy-nilly; at least that is my belief

don't take it to heart paul no one is getting at you

As for me, I use Xara exclusively for everything with the exception of web stuff which I do not do, it saddens me to see our user base diminishing.

Hi Wizard,

I just bought Xara Designer Pro X, about 3-4 months ago. I'm pretty happy with it. I also own Affinity. But I think that Xara is really nice and lightweight on Windows 10. I think it's a very underrated piece of software that perhaps most designers are unaware of. It has a good toolset.

Welcome at Talk Graphics and I totally agree! If they just gave it the TLC it deserves.... But some recent developments signal they might be doing just that.

@pauland. Any publicity is good publicity. Reviews have to be taken with a huge grain of salt. That being said, anytime I’ve convinced a novice to start with Xara, they have not been disappointed. When I also explain it also does this, and this, and this too they’re amazed. It draws, publishes, web and newsletters.
Remember that we are long time users, and in a lot of cases expert users. These reviews are often times for people who are starting out.
I work on two platforms, and there ain’t nothing like Xara in the Mac world. Nothing even close if you exclude Adobe.
In my world I can’t figure out why Xara is not mentioned more,
