I am grateful that both softwares exist. I don't have to choose between them. I have a love/hate relationship with both of them, too. LOL I use both about equally as there are some things that are easier for me in one than the other, and vice versa. I would love some new tools to simplify some of the things that have neverending workarounds.
I look forward to a long a prosperous life for both software studios because what _I_ love to do most depends on the companies that own them doing well. I think that is why it is so frustrating to not be heard by those who are calling the shots - on BOTH sides!
In order to continue to do what we love to do, we NEED you to do well pushing your companies forward. We are depending on you to make smart, informed decisions. AND being informed means listening when your customers as well as the artists who create content to support your app share their frustrations with you. We aren't just crazy, ego-centric, artists throwing a hissy, primadonna fit. We are people who have found ways to do what we love to do AND support our families in the process. The term "starving artist" could be replaced with "thriving artist" if the companies would really listen to what the artists and customers actually want and need.
And that's all I have to say about that.
Enjoy creating today!
