Pixelmator's big Apple-like redesign some years ago very much felt like a ‘hey Apple, you should acquire us’. I'm surprised it took this long, honestly
@stroughtonsmith even before that, their Pixelmator iOS app had from day one felt like it was trying so hard to work _exactly_ like the way iWork apps did, which just screamed to me "acquire us!"
@stroughtonsmith the “MacPaint Toolbar” is something I wish modern pixelmator had to be honest. I’m flipping back and forth from Pixelmator and Affinity Photo and have a lot of trouble finding tools.
Love Pixelmator’s speed and a few other features though.
