@b77 thank you for your question and I am happy to give you my thoughts:
VS (as I see it) can be used by two target groups (mainly):
illustrators/people who work on work which can exist for itself
designers/creative services professions, where you use vector-projects as assets to create something bigger or at least where a vector work is a part of another complex work
affinity's designer and photo has also this purpose:
each can be used to 1. produce closed projects in itself or 2. assets for something bigger (f.e. to be used within the other app or the big "mother" publisher).
VS could be a perfect companion which finds its spot in that chain as a supporting tool for designer, for photo or directly for publisher. of course, if the second "rule" applies.
in those modern times of collaboration, I strongly believe it is existential for tools to be connected. this does not make them weaker. this makes them a part of a co-existing system. and think also about the financial aspect: if you force people to decide, which paid tool you should use, you will pick the one and only the one, which you can use for the most time. when you know, the other tool, that you also liked but after your research, you knew, it is self-contained, this tool won't be bought. when you know, those apps can be companions in your flow, the chances are you buy both. – this is also more likely when you see, how affordable and strong those apps are.
