Fuck. I use that all the time for work, and I can't imagine that this will be good in any way. Will this become part of their Creative Cloud or whatever it's called? Don't they already have XD? Not sure if anyone actually uses that though...

Our design studio is like 90% Figma now. Rarely we wonder to Illustrator to finesse marks or edit images in Photoshop. InDesign gets that one print job a month.
Everyone loves Figma, not least because it's not Adobe

Damn. I read about this offsite. Tons of digital creatives are pissed. I had no clue people moved on from Adobe, lol.

Since when do Adobe have 20 billion in their backpocket? They have those Photoshop subscriptions, what else is there?

They already killed Freehand. Radial copy, 3D skew took two decades to come to Illustrator. You still can't fucking paste inside, even InDesign has done that for ages
Don't mind, I used all these tools. When at work I have to use Adobe XD, but all software is the same now. At home I use InVision Studio, used Sketch a lot , and some Figma .. all the same shit for web design .. I could even use MS paint and make great stuff 
For home projects I use all the tools from Affinity and InVision . Been doing great design wise.
It's not about which tools you use for making great designs .

I do all my designs with pen and paper. Works great and it's cheaper.

I used Figma a few years back at work to do an internal application UI revamp mockup. Not even part of my actual role at the time. It was a pleasure to work with, and I was able to use it without worrying about IT.
This is some bullshit because Adobe can get fucked right alongside SaaS in general.

Is Adobe a monopoly? Because it looks like you have to use Adobe software if you want a job in many creative fields.

We need to kill Adobe. Fucking shoehorned us into their bullshit model and their shithole-developed software that freezes and crashes constantly. It's literally a meme in our industry yet we still use it because there's 0 competition.
Literally was in Premiere and After Effects, last night I was exporting and pasting things in my TLs and it just crashes and freezes I have my settings correct and i9 2080ti and 32gb of ram like what.
