    1. Fuck Adobe in general. Keep them contained.

    2. We can’t just waste a name like “Figma” and let it get merged and buried. It has too much cultural value off its name alone.

    Adobe: We’re gonna go buy Figma.

    EU: care to elaborate on-

    Adobe: Figma Balls

    EU:… on how that doesn’t make you a Monopoly?

    Adobe: 😐

    EU: 😐

    Figma Bal-

    Uhhh… I mean yeah, screw Adobe, go Open Source! Screw Monopolies!

    (To be honest, I never heard of Figma or Adobe XD, their supposed competition, until this acquisition)

    Break up Adobe. They have had a monopoly on creative tools for more than 10 years now.

      I bought the Affinity suite a few years back. Dropped Adobe when they started going all Creative Cloud monthly subscription, and haven’t looked back. Definitely recommend. Don’t let Adobe have a monopoly when other great choices exist.

    Kinda sucks. There’s already so little competition in the design space. Inkscape is honestly pretty clunky, usable if you learn to deal with its quirks.
