Adobe will acquire Figma
-
i think some of you are using figma
does not sound like good news to me
-
I wonder when they will buy Serif with the whole Affinity . Obviously to provide users a new experience.
-
@Subpath Yes, it exploded on hackernews, probably not a good news for Figma users.

Obviously
there are no other outcomes.

And in other graphic design related news, the company that owns Corel changed it's name to… Alludo.

Never.

@Subpath Lately nothing good has come from Adobe. Worked with their suit for decades, but the subscription crap took the cake and I switched to Affinity Designer. However if they spent 20 billion on the acquisition, one would expect them to do something useful for a change. But their pricing and cloud based rubble will put off a lot of artists, mainly those that work alone or in a small group. Particularly since the magic word in Figma is: collaboration, which means artists and coders working together, which means corporate environment. So Adobe now focusses on the big players, which they think they can do after having let everyone create a heap of legacy data, that is difficult to abandon. So yeah, no good will come out of their latest move as well, which will encourage the part of the market Adobe has chosen to ignore, to look for proper alternatives. I sincerely hope VS will be one of them. It most certainly has the potential to do just that.

Can only agree with the potential of VS. I rarely used a program
that offers so many Features and leaves so much room for discovery
and experimentation. It is my default vector program since I bought it.
Which speaks for itself.
