What it will ultimately come down to is price. ADOBE has ignored the consumers desire to keep costs down and continued to increase pricing each year with different marketing strategies.

Isn't FIVE X too much ?

Affinity isn't the only kid on the block to compete with Photoshop, there are other low cost editors like Luminar, Skylum, Topaz and On1 to name a few. There are open source editors such as Darktable and GIMP that are free and can do the majority of editing images that Photoshop does. Photoshop is the leader for base price of $128/year, however should that price double or go higher there are alternatives.

They have not raised their prices in a very long time and Photoshop these days is way cheaper than it has ever been!
