What software's do we use?

I've been asked this question for a long time.
With several softwares on the market including top competitors like Adobe and Corel Draw and new comers like Affinity by serif, the graphic design tools are wide expanding to point where it comes mostly personal preference,

From the beginning Photoshop and Illustrator was our go to tools to design, but were overwhelmed by its pricing and frequent crashes. One time, a motion graphics work done in After effects went corrupt and we lost 4 days worth of work. Tried everything we can to recover it without any luck.
Adobe's pricing was an issue too, we couldn't get a selection of software's that suits us but instead we were forced to buy a plethora of apps which were never going to use. Period.
Behold the rise of Affinity Creative Suite

Driven by the need to find an alternative solution made us look into the multitude of creative software out there including Corel Draw, Inkscape, Gimp, Serif Draw plus etc. But none of them matched adobe in terms of flexibility and usability. Until, we came across a new set of creative suite from Serif. Built from the ground up for new age systems unlike its competitor.
Navigating through Affinity software's was a breeze, the instantaneous zoom and performance blew us away. Affinity was still in its staring stages back then. In the present day, Affinity had come a long way in terms of features and performance and made us ditch adobe in their favor. There's no subscription based model, so buy the software you need from Affinity designer( Illustrator Alterative) Affinity Photo (Photoshop) and Affinity publisher ( Indesign).

Even though we still use adobe software's to tally out the missing features, Affinity still retains its position as our top creative suite.
