      never support anything by canva

      Getting Affinity without ever paying is hardly supporting them. At least it’s a stopgap until Krita finally fixes their text tool which is honestly the sole reason why I bought Affinity 1 and 2. (In case anyone wonders: Yes, I also donated to Krita.)

              I am horrible in many ways, you are right about that :). But I don’t think it is fair for a company to be labelled as horrible just because they are adding AI to their services. AI is a technology, and most of what is done currently with this is truly horrible (I am talking about chatgpt, meta, microsoft). But I believe that it can be used for good, and I think Canva implementing AI in Affinity Studio will do good to beginners, amateurs. I say this because I have used Canva many times to create posters, and other things, which would have been pain in bum to do in Gimp. It is just convenient.
