Spine

It has a pretty similar UI and feature set. It can also export projects as Spine files to be used in your games (unfortunately it exports Spine data only as .json files and not as binary .skel, but it's still pretty nice).

I have tested and find what I look for, but without any additional costs.

DragonBones has a skeletal animation design panel named &quot;DragonBonesDesignPanel&quot; and a 2D skeletal animation library based on ActionScript.

Since the Design Panel is essentially an extension for Flash Pro, it makes possible for designers to build 2D skeletal animation based on the timeline workflow that designers are familar with, and build it with efficiency

 Packaging and Export	
Pack images into a texture atlas, which results in more efficient rendering in your games. Export DragonBones and Egret MovieClip data with JSON data format. 

 Skinning Animation
Skinning allow individual vertices in a mesh to be attached to different bones. When the bones move, the vertices move with them and the mesh is deformed automatically. 

Skeletal Operation
Bind bone for image. Easily let your character have more vivid actions and more smooth animations. 

There is no doubt that Adobe Suite is great, even in some case it&#39;s probably the best. But you can be mad at Adobe for many reasons, expensive monthly subscribtion method, bad stability, useless features, paying for tools you don&#39;t use. Here is my list with the best way to ditch Adobe monopoly in my opinion.
I tried to add Open Source alternatives too as some are really good.

I only covered Adobe softwares that I&#39;ve used so I&#39;m sorry if you don&#39;t find what you came for...
