They undoubtedly have the most friendly business model, but as some commenters noted, it isn't a drop-in replacement and Adobe's workflow is still (sadly) unmatched.
However there's another problem: Adobe is still the industry standard. Employers are looking for Adobe on resumes, they provide employees with Adobe products and they expect a certain compatibility between their employees (i.e. Alice and Bob can work on the same files).
Learning the Affinity suite might actually hurt your career as long as this is the case. As a career decision it is still a better move to put your time into Adobe.

And I really dislike Adobe.
