It's worth noting that the Affinity apps are available for both Mac and Windows (in contrast to some Mac-only design tools like Sketch). Overall, I find the UI of the Affinity apps to be...OK. Some tasks feels a bit clunky (but less clunky than Adobe apps). I still recommend the Affinity apps if you are looking for alternatives to Illustrator, Photoshop, or InDesign. But be aware that the Affinity apps are not identical in features to Adobe's apps. The Affinity website has a good showcase of how people are using their apps:

It's also nice to see some competition against the behemoth that is Adobe. In particular, these smaller, more nimble competitors (Sketch, Affinity, Figma, Procreate) have shown that you don't always have to beat the dominant company in a market, just carve out enough space in the same market to succeed.
