PHOTOSHOP (for digital painting) <<< Clip Studio
Similar tools, built for printing and comic making, and when you own it it’s yours forever. Plus when they introduce tools you don’t have to fucking pay for them https://www.clipstudio.net/en

ILLUSTRATOR <<< Affinity Designer
If vector is your thing look no further. Functions basically the same except you only buy it once. Muscling into photos and publishing too so watch out Adobs https://affinity.serif.com/en-us/

Dreamweaver <<<< Brackets
Seriously? You can code in notepad easier than DW. But you don’t have to because Brackets is free and customizable with plugins for whatever you need. Ironically it’s owned by Adobe, because even they knew http://brackets.io/

ADOBE XD <<<< Sketch
It’s called XD because that’s the face I made when I saw they had a prototyping tool. Sketch is subscription based but it’s 99 per year, as opposed to adobe’s 3000 (!?!?!?) https://www.sketchapp.com/

Unfortunately I got nothing for motion graphics, Adobe has the market pretty cornered. If anyone has alternatives let me know! Additionally I don’t animate but have heard good things about ToonBoom, but I can’t confirm. Gl y’all!!!
