Which proprietary software do you prefer over their open-source alternatives, and why? (lemmy.ml)

Not FOSS, but in terms of alternatives for Adobe, I have been liking Affinity so far. Haven't used Publisher much though.

I will do anything to get away from these fucks, even it means staying with proprietary software

And Scribus would be so much nicer if master pages worked the same as they did in InDesign.
