So tired of Adobe. They're part of the problem.

I held off on Windows 10 for as long as I could until my job required it. Now this nonsense. I hope this isn't the start of them joining on the web DRM bandwagon.
There isn't anything that Adobe charges money for that you can't find an open source alternative.
No real replacement for After Effects unless if you want to juggle between 5 programs and then lose clients because they can't open your project files
You can't animate text on a video clip without spending a lot of time, something which is 2 clicks on after effects
I know, I love blender and work with it when I can, but I do motion design professionally and it's painful how there's no alternative to after effects
We have to stop confusing compositing and motion design, Blender is great for compositing, absolutely not 2D motion design. The only software that could efficiently replace After Effects on some aspects would be Cavalry, but it’s still on early development.
Im REALLY trying to make myself learn Affinity Photo, but I just keep falling back to PhotoPea which is like an in browser Photoshop clone
Krita? Not good enough?
Not for photo editing or pixel art. Krita is a painting tool.
Wym not photo editing? You can do everything aswell in Krita. Changing hues, retouching, selection, layers, saturation, tone balance. All there.
And you can most definitely use it for pixel art. Even if you don't want to use Krita there exist paint.net, aseprite, piskel or pixelorama. No need for hundreds of dollars for PS.
and if you don't want to pay, you can always use libresprite instead of aesprite
Got stuck in hospital for a few weeks recently and used the opportunity to finally learn Affinity.
I'm now really liking it. Takes a few tries to get into it though.
I particularly like it on the iPad with the Apple pencil. A bit less so on my windows laptop.
is there a list of that

thanks a lot!
The GIMP is superior to Photoshop in every way. Fight me.
I am listening.
Pro retoucher here. What would you recommend? I've tried to switch to Affinity a few times but not tried anything else.
Gonna give pixelmator a try, thanks!
Krita > GIMP
Honestly ever si ce I discovered Krita I never went back to GIMP. Maybe gimp is more customizable at the base level but fuck me if Krita doesn't make transitioning out of Photoshop a breeze. Changing from PS to Krita is like switching from a metal baseball bat to a wooden one. Switching from PS to Gimp is like switching out your metal baseball bat for an unfelled pine tree.
Sorry, but fuck no. Not even close. I hate adobe, but photoshop is literally better than GIMP in every way. But like some said, there are better options than photoshop.
