In my office I have chosen to invest in “no cloud” design software dependency. We don’t believe in collaborative UX/UI design workflow outside the office. We use our own code based workflow for prototyping. I am in design field 18 years, there is a way to deliver quality in pure form without using trending tools, cloud based plugins and direct collaboration. Convenience is not always the king. But this is strictly my decision and I don’t imply thats is for everyone.
For UI/Graphic design/Print : Affinity Designer / Photo / Publisher. For UX our in-house software. For Video/Animation : Davinci Resolve/Fusion. 3d/Animation - Blender. Raw Therapee for photo processing.There are small apps that help in between but none of them are cloud based. More emotionally explained: I started to hate Adobe with my heart after they killed Fireworks. When Affinity launched their products I was skeptical at first but now are very, very good.
