Yes, this came out when the little me was just starting school, yet I instantly know my way around this UI.
Out of things I tried so far that do run natively on the M1:
- Pixelmator Pro does work for most of what I want, but I can't do cmd+shift+c to "copy merged" and paste it in telegram or whatever
- Affinity Photo can't free transform the selected part of a layer, only an entire layer, trips me up a lot
- Gimp just works way too differently
and that was just me trying to make a meme
(not the one attached, this one I stole from twitter)
