A new angle, that probably won't matter anyway... when Photoshop crashes for any reason, feel free to add a link to THIS thread in your explanation of "what happened"... it can't hurt...

Problems with Affinity Photo is, that when you need to edit your previous work, you can open Photoshop file format, but layers are not the same anymore. Compatibility is not 100% and although this is self-evident, it could bring annoying problems to your workflow.

Yes, Photo is probably the best alternative right now. I wish they'd fix their attitude and fix some glaring holes and UI-design defects. But at least there's hope. Adobe is just wringing dues out of people and giving up, apparently.

I've using Affinity Photo, but just some days, not enough to have a global idea. I don't think it's better than photoshop but at least you can overwrite a jpg XD 

And the price is ridiculously less than PS

What is the best alternative? I’m ready to switch and need time to start teaching myself.

My Etsy shop fulfillment company sent out a wrong item because of
this yesterday.
Instead of printing the file that should have been overwritten,
they printed the file that should have had edits.

Not only costing me, but making me look like an idiot to my customer.
Get it together Adobe!!!

almost sent the wrong file because I missed the word COPY

And that is what makes defects like this a way bigger deal than some might think. It goes beyond an annoyance into professional embarrassment.
