I'd say Figma and Sketch for many digital designers. Complemented with photo editing tools like Pixelmator and image gen like Midjourney. Also tools like Spline for 3D and Rive for motion. They could take fresh, focused approaches and don't have to deal with the weight of their legacy. Print still seems to be mostly with the Adobe toolbox. What do you use or see used a lot?

I’m very looking forward to AI design tools, where the interface will be replaced by just a voice commands. I hope for 3-5 years from now. As a designer, I hate to switch between platforms and searching for tools inside them. It seriously kills my mojo... btw I switched from Adobe to Affinity 5 years ago (after 10 years of using adobe almost daily) and I’m very happy with that decision. Works great for all raster, vector and print stuff.
