I haven t used Affinity Publisher much, and found a few minor things frustrating (paragraph formatting specifically in the older V2 version), but other than that Photo, Designer and Publisher have been solid.
Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: Used for publishing/design, but not extensively.
I expressly bought this software (Designer, Photo, Publisher) out of principle, against Adobe s enshittification and monopolisation, and because it was premised on pay once; own it forever.

Now the question is, will I ever get any updates to Photo Design Publisher? I don’t need new features, but I do care about bug fixes and such.
