I have bought the full Affinity licence although I only use Photo (and Publisher occasionally). A small company like Serif does compete with the Adobe leviathan. Big teams get bogged down with lack of communication and lack of shared understanding. I expect that there are many examples where small teams successfully challenge big teams.Ī small expert and enthusiastic team in which everyone knows and understands what everyone else is doing can make rapid progress. They produced a very successful innovative product which became more popular than that of their previous employer. Much later Pro-Engineer, a CAD CAM company was founded by a very small team of software engineers who were fed up with their large employer. The project ran late and IBM threw more and more people into the team. It was a book published in the mid seventies about the development of an IBM operating system. And the same for a year ago. Development cycle? This year's features were not there a year ago. Adobe evidently have development cycles too, hence their list of "new features" in CC. They can only do so much, while the larger company can do more. A small company like Serif will find it hard to compete with a large company like Adobe, for example, on sheer development capacity. The first statement is wrong, the second is correct.
