I prefer Affinity Photo 2 over 3, so am I missing something important by staying on it?

Mac user here, Sequoia. I bought Affinity Photo 2 and Designer 2 months ago.

I really like Affinity Photo 2, the new version 3 feels bloated. I prefer the apps separately.

Version 2 opens extremely fast on Mac, instantly! while the new version 3 sometimes freezes on open it (I need to close it and reopen it).

I also prefer the icon colors on the left palette over the plain monochrome ones in version 3.

Overall, I feel Affinity Photo 2 feels simpler and cleaner.

Anybody here stay on 2?

The big question is:

  • What am I missing from version 3?
  • Do you think I can continue just using version 2?
  • You think I miss something vital from 3?
