    One interesting thing I've found in moving from Adobe to Affinity is the distinct lack of convenience. It's sort of how I feel when I go travel in Europe... it's not that things are difficult, but in America they're just designed to be easier - however, the trade-off is having increasingly bloated and useless systems.

    As books are my primary medium, there's just so much I've gotten used to be able to shortcutting in InDesign (that otherwise should just be traits of Photoshop or Illustrator)... now in the Affinity suite, it's just I have to do the work the program is designed to do in that particular program.

    Which, I mean, is how it should be. But it is strange how unlearning that added convenience layer can be such a difficult task.
