@metin bugger! I guess I'm going to be using Acorn more extensively in the future and looking for vector and publishing alternatives. I suppose we had a good run, for a while there, at least.

@metin I love their tagline, "Those that can't, use Canva" 🙃 #Joking

@darrendilieto @metin Have you tried Inkscape and Scribus to see if they do what you need?

@gunchleoc @darrendilieto I haven't tried Scribus, but I've worked with @inkscape and it's a very competent vector tool. Have a look at these tutorials for a nice impression:

@metin @gunchleoc @inkscape Inkscape is now on my list for when I get a minute for this stuff. 🙂 THANKS!

Thank you for the bad news and the list of alternatives!
While I’m using TeX (ConTeXt) for more layout jobs than I should, I still need some layout app, and Scribus has too narrow limits. Inkscape is really good since ~1.2, but for some jobs, Affinity Designer is still better. And of course I need a photo editor that’s capable of prepress tasks. I can’t work with Gimp, need to check Krita…
Still missing a really good PDF app (for prepress!).
