I do actually know people who use Excel for design! Specifically knitters, quilters and the like. The cells are great for organizing fabric patterns by filling them in with blocks of color

if figma is being acquired by Adobe, it's almost definitely not staying free and I doubt it's even going to continue to exist. sounds like they're just trying to get rid of the competition

I’m an accountant and I had no idea you could add 3D models into excel. My spreadsheets are about to get a lot more whimsical.

@Killysunt
I don't even do graphic design, I just think your videos are creatively inspiring in general, it's easy to forget to just muck around with different stuff for fun
@tess.aschaap
I have zero experience in graphic design, and adobe's price always made it something I never even considered, so it's really good to know there are actually some alternatives!

The lenghts people will go with power point are amazing. I have a friend that does this crazy presentations for uni assignments where he literally animates in vector art made with the basic shapes, and it is good, like professors saying "this is the best presentation I have ever seen good"
@doctormo
A facinating comparison. Thanks for doing a dive on each program and also your kind words. - Inkscape developer (p.s. it's free because other people either volunteered their time or already paid for it to be made, and once made, it's available to everyone. I'm a Patreon funded dev these days)

LOVE Affinity. I’m so used to Affinity now that I’ve forgotten so much of Adobe

When Elliot said "PiktoChart" I thought he said "Pictochat" and I legit didn't put it past him to make the graphic on a web-emulated Nintendo DS
@CaptainAtria
So happy to see inkscape here! I learned Illustrator in highschool but I couldn't be bothered to go through the processing of "legally purchasing and obtaining the illustrator license" so I looked into free alternatives and inkscape was the one I chose. It does everything I could possibly need for my game dev purposes, and its an all around fantastic program!

"cons: 5+ year learning curve" for blender made me laugh-cry
@aedegroot94
As a music student I'm expected to make posters and program booklets for my concerts all the time. Canva is an absolute godsent.
@GawxArt
Lewis’s design is absolutely amazing

9:27 - I'm a Inkscape + GIMP user for 10 years. With these two tools, I designed good quality logos, art for social media and for billboards here in Brazil. Because of these free and open-source tools, I don't use Adobe CC anymore! 🙌🏼
@anstheram
As a GIMP user, the way you described trying to use GIMP is esactly how I felt when my college forced me to use Photoshop. Also, good video.
@foofielocou8052
a little sad Krita wasn't included in this. I've been using it for about 4 years now and each new update through the years has only been improving the experience. It's also also open source which adds a lot of points in my book.
@verebellus
7:55 you mention that layers is a rare sight in browser based editors, which is so true, i just cannot wrap my head around Canva not having a clear layers tab
@juanpaoloignacio5251
As an Inkscape user and advocate I cannot describe how great it is to see it getting love in this video. I've been using it for over 12 years now. It's gone through some major improvements lately but even then had great potential. Highly recommend it.
