    Awesome news. Bless the regulators fighting back.

    As a result of the termination, Adobe will be required to pay Figma a reverse termination fee of $1 billion in cash.

    This does bring a smile to my face. Maybe companies will actually stop trying to mass acquire everything when there are risks involved.

    As a designer that uses figma every day, I have to say…

    … I don’t care one bit. I have to subscribe and use Adobe software anyway, not only because everyone else uses them, but because that’s simply the best graphic software out there and I’ve tried it all. Not too mention that the full Adobe subscription, that you can usually get 50% off, is not that expensive anyway, compared to many saas that are buggy and just do one simple thing. So yeah, I don’t hate Adobe anymore, everyone is doing what they are doing and most of the software out there is complete garbage and even more expensive.

      I have to disagree with the “best software out there”.

      You said you are a designer, that you used It all and currently uses Figma right?

      Adobe has a Figma competitor, Adobe XD, and It seems you’re not using It, even though It should be better like you said.

        Sorry, I thought everyone will understand that I’m taking about photoshop, illustrator, indesign, AE and not that every single Adobe product ever made is absolutely better than every single other product that has ever been made ever… Next time, I will try to be more precise. I deeply apologise
