I dislike cloud-only or subscription based design tools as well - you have less control.

When Adobe moved to a subscription model I didn't upgrade.

I used Sketch and other tools, but unfortunately they are not cross platform, so I switched to Affinity Designer and Affinity Photo.

I'm hoping native tools can survive.

I wonder why not Axure? It is much closer to UX type of work, and Affinity Designer is more illustration-focused.

Oh definitely, Axure is one of my main tools for creating complex prototypes that these other tools can’t do.

Hot-spotting some images isn’t really going to cut it.

I’m waiting for Framer X to come to windows (switched from Mac to Windows because Apple are taking the p*ss). But I think it’s going to be web only like Figma.

If that’s the case I might just use svelte for higher fidelity prototyping.
