I used Photoshop as a web developer for about five years and switched to Affinity Photo. I also own Pixelmator for home and trialed Pixelmator Pro. I found Affinity Photo to be a more natural successor as far as far it “thinks” and I haven’t run into any limits (as a web developer with teammates who complement me, I’m not doing the complex design work, though.) I’ve also tried some vector work in Affinity Designer and thought it just fine, but haven’t needed to buy it yet. That said, Pixelmator Pro is in a way better place than when I evaluated it and feels more Apple-y, and I’ve been thinking about upgrading from Pixelmator for home, so this opinion is ending ambivalently.
