    I do, personally.

    However, Sketch's big thing right now seems to be extensibility and has a great 3rd-part ecosystem related to that – AD does not have a plug-in system. So, if you're a Craft fan, I don't see AD luring you away.

    I moved from Adobe to Affinity and have loved it. Most of the keybindings are the same, a lot of similar tooling. Basically if you completely reconfigured PS from the ground up with a focus on UI design, and kept 80% of the features, while adding in the most relevant tools from AI, you'd have AD (that's over simplifying but basically it). I love it.

    I'd also recommend checking out the Bugs section on Affinity's forum to get a feel for the state of development. They move quick and have great support, but bugs do exist.

      Agreed, all the above. For branding/UI work, I use both apps constantly, and I'll likely go Affinity-only if third-party tools and plugins build in support for it in the future.

      ^ Exactly this!
