Many old FreeHand users have moved to Affinity Designer. You should try it, it is available for Mac and Windows.


I’m one such user. I’ve been using Affinity Designer since the first public betas, and I curse it every time I use it. If you do any kind of precision work, it’s an abomination.

It can’t expand strokes correctly; it’s imprecise as hell when using boolean operations; it can’t do vector patterns (nor are they planned); it can’t even correctly join two specific points from different shapes!

I stick with it for the price point and because I ethically dislike Adobe, but the software as is is utter junk if you care about precision in your work.
