Canva acquired Cavalry

Canva had also acquired Affinity before.

I've already heard this news and find it rather unpleasant.
We'll lets to see how things develop.For those who may not know, there has always been a free version of Cavalry.
Have the free Version my computer quit a while, purely for fun and experiment.
But it's not a app I need to have.If some are interested in alternatives, here's the thread from the "BlenderArtist" Forum
that lists all the alternatives to Adobe / Affinity / Autodesk / Maxon alternatives in all areas
from Metin Seven.https://blenderartists.org/t/adobe-affinity-autodesk-maxon-alternatives/1522359

This is a very good news, because Affinity/ Cavalry can become Adobe Illustrator's/ After Effects' main competitor.
Affinity just needs real Gradient Mesh and Live Paint features to fully replace Illustrator
-
I don't see this as good news, as it points towards monopolies,
towards big companys. I don't think Cavalry can compete with
After Effects in a foreseen future.Affinity has its uses; It havea nice mix of bitmap and vector.
But it's not a vector graphics application I'd like to use every day.
So, i am not interested, even its free. -
@gotanidea I don't know if Affinity will ever "fully" replace Illustrator. It will be more than enough for the people who need basic editing and design software, but I don't view it as professional on the level with Illustrator or Vectorstyler. There are still many features it lacks before it gets there - if it gets there. Affinity has a place and I'm glad it's there to take away some of those who would otherwise use Adobe.
