What Adobe is doing with the cancellation of Animate should be illegal. Animators are livid atm.
Unfortunately most foss tools aren't as good as Animate to replace it (no, Grease Pencil doesn't quite do the same and Krita/Synfig/Pencil2d/OpenToonz aren't as feature-rich), but Moho is an excellent piece of software. First created for the #BeOS back in 1999, I remember using it back then. In 2007 it even had a #Linux version.

🎉 Welcome to the Public Domain, FIDDLESTICKS (1930)! 🐸🎶
🎬 Meet Flip the Frog in his very first cartoon—created by animator Ub Iwerks, who previously animated STEAMBOAT WILLIE and later formed his own studio. Originally produced in a two-color Harriscolor process, the short circulated in black & white in the U.S.

FFS. Four days after asking for suggestions to replace Animate and Adobe announce they're discontinuing the product on 1 March.
So that's put the pressure on finding an alternative.
Also *I* was going to flounce off from you Adobe, not the other way around.
(to be fair, I will still flounce off, but it won't be *quite* as satisfying)

Quick thanks to everyone boosting and making suggestions here. I am making a list!
Might take me a while to go through but I will feedback (with particular reference to whether it's an easy transition from Animate) when I can.

I have a question for a niche group of people.
The question is for people who have used Flash or Animate to make 2D animations.
Have you found alternative software that has the same overall user experience as old school Flash?
If yes, what is it?
Please note I am aware of a lot of animation packages out there & I know a lot of them are great, but I have a LOT of experience in Flash & if I can ditch Animate but keep the overall experience that would be perfect.
Thanks.
