So, what's our alternatives? As others, I'm both pessimistic about the future and increasingly anti-Adobe (last thing I liked from them was non-subscription Framemaker and maybe PS 5.5).

Affinity has a suite that is pretty nice (not affiliated with them, just like the tools and didn’t want to pay a subscription for my rather occassional use).
Oh, sorry, I meant as an alternative to Figma, not the Adobe Suite itself.

But yeah, I dabbled a bit with Affinity Designer. It is quite focused on the "PageMaker" side of things, i.e. not for medium to large documents (IIRC still no support for footnotes, multi-column mode being a bit manual etc.)
