Yesterday I discovered flash was used to produce Rob Zombie's Dead Girl Superstar (2001) music video: https://youtube.com/watch?v=WpHViVML_4o
I remember watching it on his flash-heavy website during that era, but it never occurred to me that it was anything more than just a recording converted to a flash video.
It's already very common in 3D and VFX.
Affinity Designer on the other hand is really nice to use, and didn't do a bunch of weird stuff exporting SVG files.
Unfortunately they have only a fraction of the resources of adobe and their development has slowed significantly over the years.
Their product is just too cheap. It might as well be free. They charged something like less than $50 for a one time purchase and only required a paid upgrade recently after like 7 or 8 years.
I wonder if that hurt its adoption since a lot of graphic designers use Mac, so their first impression of Inkscape would've been very poor?
