Affinity Designer is a very good vector editing app. Switched to it from Inkscape due to performance and UI issues. To me, it's more convenient to use than vector things in Pixelmator Pro.
For photo editing, I don't like Affinity Photo. It seems powerful, but too much for me to learn, so I use Pixelmator Pro for simple photo editing (although I can never remember where the tool I need is). Maybe it's better for pros, though.
For quick pixel editing/cropping I use Acorn — it's fast and the UI is not overloaded.

+1 for Acorn, my image editing need are pretty light and Acorn does everything I need.
