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.

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

Hope Adobe XD continues to exist so Adobe can test their "ideas" there, and leave Figma alone 🤞

20B deal with 10B in cash would be a nobrainer for me too 😁

That's sad, I'd prefer they remained independent. I am not a fan of what Adobe has become in my life as far as subscriptions

Do you think this will promote more Figma plugins in the community?

Figma was tapping into the core Adobe, it's usual for settings as such. Figma team and employees get a great pay-off for the effort, while, Adobe gets to improve their marketshare in the longer run.

It's a nightmare for designers

Not a good news, I think.

Big companies usually try to buy competitors to remain relevant or chase them with copying features. If you look at the past, most fail. If Figma is truly left alone, then it has a chance. If not, then it opens the doors to another new startup coming in and winning the hearts of designers. Can't blame Figma though for jumping at a deal like that!
