Right now Corel Draw fills a gap left by adobe on ‘owning’ a layout app rather than rental only. i use Corel X5 for work but on hearing that Affinity Designer is coming to windows soon and a layout version in 2017 I can see that i ‘might’ be leaving corel behind.

Corel still has my attention in 2016.
2017 they need to step it up and compete with Affinity
