    ”While Adobe and Figma shared a vision to jointly redefine the future of creativity and productivity, we continue to be well positioned to capitalize on our massive market opportunity and mission to change the world through personalized digital experiences.”

    I vehemently don’t want Adobe to achieve any of these things.

      Yeah, major bullet dodged there. Just when I started actually appreciating Figma and heard about the Adobe plans, I automatically felt like I just need to hate Figma to not get used to it too much — just in case.

      If I read it right, Adobe is going to pay Figma a billion dollars since the deal didn’t go through. Good for Figma?

        Lol right. Here’s a cool bill for an investment we can’t control. Seems legit assuming it is
