Kite Compositor alternatives

I had high hopes for this software - that it would be a great alternative to the more expensive Adobe products. However, I find the key frame logic very counter intuitive and fiddly to adjust positions, motion and objects due to key frame complexity. In the past I was quite a maestro of Flash animation and also Adobe Animate which is essentially a re-packaging of Flash (with bugs and no updates). I ask myself - why can't somebody just resurrect Flash? It did everything this package is trying to do but with solid keyframe behaviour. I did not find that it dealt with imports very well and did not succeed at importing any of my Figma animations. In the end, with perserverence and many references to video guidance, I managed to create all the animations I required for the product I was working on, but not without a lot of frustration and fiddling.
