Pixelmator Pro has honestly become my default software of choice for everything raster related. So much so I am almost ready to no longer need the Affinity suite for my workflow. There is however one thing I would love to see that would really make this software the only tool I need, and that is vector art view support.

As an Apple developer, I make a LOT of icons. Both for UI buttons, and for the finished product icon. I wish Pixelmator Pro had support for vector files where they could keep their sharpness as you zoomed in. I like to focus on tiny details while I edit, but its almost impossible the the view is so pixelated

Here is an example of what happens when you are zoomed in Pixelmator Pro

Affinity has a "Pixel View Mode" that can be toggled when you need to see raster version of your icon, and it would be just amazing if Pixelmator Pro could have a similar feature for graphic designers. That and just overall more features and support for vector work would also be a plus!
