@mrudokas@mastodon.social Yeah that’s probably also fair. My suspicion is that the design process went something like this: “How do we make this seem more accessible to Canva users? Oh I know let’s make the buttons bigger” and then they realized that this didn’t make any sense for most of the interface and stopped after the left sidebar and toolbar

@zhcet@mastodon.design It is a bit strange state to be at for more than a decade old product. Maybe the merge into a family will actually help? I have’t used v2, so have no idea of evolution direction. But e.g. Cavalry, another Canva acquisition, left an impression of having way stronger design than Affinity. Still dense, still has its own style, but way more coherency, clarity. But I would agree, that old Adobe is the best. Is it that hard to copy the principles?
