It's been a long time since Apple's pro tools group has done anything as interesting as a new, native core app like Pixelmator Pro — I think you have to go all the way back to 2004, when they introduced Motion. It is very well-realized on both Mac and iPad, and feels like the star of the Creator Studio offering. It does sting when you think Apple had to acquire the talent to make it happen, especially looking at the state of the other apps and their mixed-to-absent Liquid Glass updates
It is beyond frustrating that none of the other pro group apps use the native design language (i.e. Liquid Glass). Apple should have got its house in order before asking third party developers to crunch themselves to death to implement this stuff. If the design language can't support these kinds of apps, it shouldn't have shipped. We look to Apple for guidance as to how to design and build our complex native apps, and the answer Final Cut and Logic provide is 'don't'
@stroughtonsmith Also even in dark mode you get flash banged with a bright What’s New screen

Is it though.
