My hope is that Adobe leaves it as it is and Figma runs independently but reality might be the opposite. They'll put it right into their lineup.
Time to leave Figma because it is no more independent.
Don’t know
No idea from my side
Anti trust laws? Yes, no? Interesting how this went on so smoothly.
Not bad
Good
Let's look for Figma Alternatives on PH lol
That's unfortunate, as I'd prefer that they remain independent.
I don’t see how figma can remain independent since adobe will likely bundle the offerings into their suite and figma’s freemium offering isn’t supported - hence their sales teams appear to be in conflict. If Adobe takes over sales, figma will lose direct insights into their audience and this likely affects value of their product roadmap. Dylan likely has 2 years lock-in so expect to see loss of independence from 2025 should he leave at that point. This means we have 2 years to migrate teams to independent alternatives…
