Photoshop is such a gross, annoying piece of software that a fast clone built on rust that also runs natively in windows might make me swallow my ethics if it lived up to its promises, but good news is that it doesn't. :)

I don't exactly love the Raster part of affinity (it's not bad, it just has a more narrow focus than photoshop and does that focus area better) but like for real if you don't wanna pirate photoshop just use that, it's really really good
er, NATIVELY ON LINUX. Which I wish Affinity would do just on principle.
But yeah idk like "Maybe if it lived up the promises it'd be worth using" but as always with these AI projects they just kinda disappoint you in all the ways you'd expect.

Or forget the car metaphor, it's like building a house, starting with the paint, carpet and dry wall. Making something that resembles the target then tearing down and rebuilding over and over because you forgot to build a frame. Working backward gives you results that feel backward!
It's like trying to build a car from vibes, with no underlying plan and you just got a lot of parts that LOOK like a car, and it ASSEMBLES like a car, but nothing quite fits together and everything is slightly off and it leaks because the rubber gaskets are misaligned, but it LOOKS nice!
