According to multiple reports including Bloomberg, Adobe and Figma are set to finalise a deal for the purchase of Figma for a whopping $20 billion! What do you think of this deal, does it make sense, do you wish Figma would stay independent? 🧐 Update: Since writing this, Adobe have confirmed that they are in fact buying Figma, Figma will remain independent and Dylan Field will remain as CEO.

We already pay full subscription for Adobe and Figma separately. After the merge, I assume, Adobe will ditch XD and replace with Figma. As a result, we'll likely to pay less invoice :) But today Adobe Inc: 318.57 USD −$52.17 (14.07%)today

Will see what happens in nearest future. I guess it's a great chance for Sketch as an independent designer tool also. But, probably they buy the whole team and will not change the major direction of the product.

Wow! I just hope they don't make it completely paid like other Adobe products.

I expected to see Figma independent, it sure was a big competitor on the rise. Now even if they say it will be independent, I'm sure that as time goes by Adobe's hands will be seen, the time will come when they offer only subscription. It's a monopoly!! 😭 Similar to Disney when it bought Fox.

totally agree with arron o leary "I do personally hope to see Figma independent, it's amazing having such a strong competitor to the previous monopoly on design tools from Adobe!" adobe is charging me a lot for useless apps

I like how Figma does not have feature bloat and no subscription. I Hope Adobe leaves it as is.
