“The art and design communities, in particular, are feeling the pinch from Adobe Suite going towards a rental model, and now the artist and perennial thorn in the side of anyone who seeks to own a colour, [Stuart Semple] is doing something about it. He’s launching a competing suite called provocatively, Abode, which will follow an affordable paid-for licence model.”
The Abode project seems overly optimistic in terms of scope, cost and timing to me but then I’ve never been involved in software development. Still, alternatives to the big names are always nice.
Definately overly optimistic.
Personally, I switched to Affinity’s suite of apps. Theyre affordable and competitive, feature wise. Yeah it cant do some of the fancy AI stuff, but its plenty enough for what I need it for.
