I held off on Windows 10 for as long as I could until my job required it. Now this nonsense. I hope this isn't the start of them joining on the web DRM bandwagon.

There isn't anything that Adobe charges money for that you can't find an open source alternative.
No real replacement for After Effects unless if you want to juggle between 5 programs and then lose clients because they can't open your project files
Blender
You can't animate text on a video clip without spending a lot of time, something which is 2 clicks on after effects
Fair point, Blender isn't for the weak of heart but it's free and getting better and better. It does particles and other things though. After Effects has a steep learning curve too though, you just know it.
I know, I love blender and work with it when I can, but I do motion design professionally and it's painful how there's no alternative to after effects
We have to stop confusing compositing and motion design, Blender is great for compositing, absolutely not 2D motion design. The only software that could efficiently replace After Effects on some aspects would be Cavalry, but it’s still on early development.
Im REALLY trying to make myself learn Affinity Photo, but I just keep falling back to PhotoPea which is like an in browser Photoshop clone
Krita? Not good enough?
Not for photo editing or pixel art. Krita is a painting tool.
Krita is awesome for tablet painting but it's not that easy to use for photoshop type stuff, imo.
Got stuck in hospital for a few weeks recently and used the opportunity to finally learn Affinity.
I'm now really liking it. Takes a few tries to get into it though.
I particularly like it on the iPad with the Apple pencil. A bit less so on my windows laptop.
is there a list of that
