Opinion on Affinity?

In my short and limited experience it is promising, but still needs some polishing. The interface is modern and easy to use. There is an abundance of tools that rivals Photoshop, I guess it does everything or almost everything PS can do, but some even commonly used tools that I have tried, such as highlights, shadows and micro contrast, do not work as well as Capture One. On the other hand, there are some great tools like Inpainting that allow to easily remove objects. I did not try their RAW converter, as I am more than happy with C1. My first impression is that Affinity is targeted more at advanced enthusiasts who like to tinker with their images, rather than working professionals, unlike Capture One which is squarely aimed at pros. But my first impression could be wrong. I did not use Affinity seriously enough. For some light editing I much prefer C1, and it is more than enough for me in 99,9% of images. I try to avoid any heavy editing.
I will convert some FUJI image with both when I have time and post it here.
For the price they offer Affinity, it is an undisputed bargain.

I never heard of Affinity before but it looks pretty cool. I'm not a Photoshop user, which is what it seems to compete with so I don't think it is too relevant for me as a user of LR.
Erik Lund:

I'm still running on 10.9.5, still supported by Apple with regular patch updates and none of the funky behaviour issues of the newer OSX versions.
What would be benefit of running on the newer OS btw?
