Great move.
Adobe already has a product identical to Figma called XD, it would be entirely ridiculous to let them further monopolize the digital design space buying the most popular competitor
Annoyingly, they already stopped updating XD with the expectation that the Figma deal will go through

Figma balls, that is
Fuck Adobe
I would like to be optimistic but if they are ready to spend 20 billions in the acquisition the might as well spare 1-2 extra billions to bribe the proper people.
I thought this was already done? The Figma post sounded pretty final. I was pretty sad to read it but this news gives me some hope.
Not that Adobe doesn’t make good stuff, but I can’t imagine Figma thriving in the same way it has when Adobe just wants it to pull more $50/mo cloud subscriptions.
