Sadly, I've given up on Xara and I am switching to Affinity Designer for Mac

[omegaman]

Since switching to Mac many years ago I have been running Xara in a virtual environment using Parallels. A few weeks ago I came across Affinity Designer (by Serif) for Mac and have been wowed by it's performance and Xara like usability. The program has a lot of features that will make it my replacement for Adobe Illustrator. I recommend anyone who has been wanting to have a dedicated Mac program similar to Xara to check it out. I really wish Xara had been ported to Mac, but alas that has not happened. Affinity have just moved from beta to release candidate 1, so that's great news and it's cheap as chips at £34.99 or around $56.00 US.
