Yes! I ran into exactly the same thing with Inkscape, aftering purchasing Affinity thinking that it was going to be the 'pro' version of Inkscape. Now I'm regularly going back to Inkscape for features that Affinity doesn't consider to be important:

1) Auto-trace (come on - I could write this myself, not implemented yet?)

2) Provide option to preserve aspect-ratio in exported SVGs

Makes me wonder whether it's worth the continued investment in learning.

Also, I am not sure 'personas' is the best choice. After trying both, I somewhat prefer Inkscape's single UI which balances the needs of any sort of editing.

I find it quite jarring to go looking for a control for 10 seconds until I realize I'm in the wrong persona. Maybe I just need more practice though.
