    Synfig is way complex - anyone putting that as an alternative to Flipaclip is just loose a screw or four. Flipaclip has one of the easiest to use interfaces around and Synfig.... just doesn't.

    As simple as Flipaclip and has some more advanced functions if desired, but they don't get in the way of it being easy to navigate.

    toon boom harmony makes great animations and stuff but it's complicated compared to flipaclip. If you only use flipaclip and decide to switch, maybe not toon boom harmony because way to complicated
