Yeah, same with GIMP. I would love to use it on my Mac since I already use it and am comfortable with it on Linux, but it's noticeably slow for some reason and you shouldn't even try using it with the touchpad. The windows especially in multi-window mode don't behave as you'd expect, the keybinds don't either, it's very meh all around. I was wondering whether I should get Affinity but I guess with this it's a no.

The difference to GIMP is that Inkscape is written in C++, so a port to Qt would be more feasible than a Gimp port to Qt.

Krita on Mac works fine, btw. Get it on Steam if you want an auto updater.
