What's the difference between a regular hand plane and a Japanese one? They look quite similar to me?
Japanese hand planes shave with a pull motion instead of push.

I'm a graphic designer and avoid it like the plague. Because the bottom extends to the descender instead of the baseline, it always looks misaligned.

After testing many clients I learnt to stop worrying and just use Mail app.
MailMate did that for me.
I stopped using Adobe a couple of years ago, replaced it with the Affinity suite. Publisher still lacks a lot of InDesign features but it gets the job done.
For photography I'm using FastRawViewer for culling and Photomator for editing.

Unless you want, e.g., a destructive crop[0] which they have been not adding for at least 4 years and counting. Since my graphic work generally involves cropping, that kinda rules out Pixelmator Pro for me and forces me back into the Adobe Tax Hole.
[0] There are undoubtedly many other deficiencies but this one really irks me.
> Unless you want, e.g., a destructive crop
Isn't this achieved by enabling the "Delete cropped pixels" option?
From Pixelmator help:
> Select "Delete cropped pixels" to permanently delete the cropped areas of an image or deselect it to crop the image nondestructively and hide the cropped areas of an image instead.

Only two things I've noticed get worse as a buyer so far:
- Virtually immediately following the Songtrader acquisition using the credit card checkout began giving 'security code mismatch' errors. This is a false positive and clicking the 'Complete purchase' button about a minute later is the workaround I've been using since. I'd never experienced the error in the years prior and this has been tried with multiple different cards.
- There's no longer a live ticker on the home page showing the latest track/album purchases around the world.

Still there for me.
> I mean, it’s ridiculous the number of eggs that they used. I often joke that an Andalusian would not have been able to get through a meal without eggs.
I wonder if this is also the origin of so many egg heavy deserts in Portugal.

Egg whites were used to make communion wafers and starch habits so they had a lot of yolks going around.
