I definitely prefer this over OpenToonz for the moment (although they're equally great). Tahoma2D looks and feels more intuitive to me.

From all the alternatives to Adobe Animate that I tried this is the best one, just before Google Web Designer.

Motion and shape tweens can be created. The usability is better than with OpenToonz and it supports animating via bones.

What is Tahoma2D?

Tahoma2D is a powerful program for 2D and stop motion animation.

It is developed primarily by Jeremy Bullock, a middle school teacher in Colorado. Tahoma2D is based on OpenToonz which itself is based on Toonz, developed by Digital Video in Italy.

The mission of Tahoma2D is to be a powerful and user-friendly animation program for digital 2D artists and stop motion animators.

Tahoma2D is mostly open source, but in order to support Canon cameras, we use the Canon proprietary SDK. Tahoma2D can be built without the SDK, however.
