I'm thinking about dabbling in vector-based programming. After about 2 years of working on my atlas maps, I've realised that vector-based software might be an easier option, but I've been putting it off pretty much day one because I'm looking forward to learning a new program from scratch.

I'0ve been thinking of Inkscape, and possibly Illustrator, bus I've recently come across a new (to me) program called Affinity Designer, which looks gorgeous, blends Photoshop and Illustrator and is realtively cheap too.

I was wondering if anyone here has experience with it and would you recommend it?
