Adobe: “We bought Software XYZ for $20,000,000” Also Adobe: “We can not include the new app in the ‘all apps’ subscription, because you know, our developers continue to develop innovative solutions for you...” Adobe becomes more and more like Microsoft or Facebook the bigger they become. Eliminate competition by assimilation.

They even wanted to get rid of Dimension until their customers complained and Dimension was back. As a heavy XD user I’m concerned now for those reasons.

Good timely topic. There are a ton of tools. I like UXPin. Unlike Figma, UXPin screens are text selectable web pages. Do a mockup and hand it off, then the builder can get images and text out of it without a separate step.

It’s the Adobe way. If you can’t beat ’em you buy them out. Quick (not complete, just what I can remember offhand) history of what Adobe has bought: Freehand (folded into Illustrator), Pagemaker (folded into InDesign), and if memory serves me correct, they bought Photoshop. Still it’s a bit depressing. I was about to learn Figma, but now Maybe not. Let’s just hope they don’t buy out Affinity.
@WPTuts Жыл бұрын
Sadly very true. They've killed off way too many great tools. The Macromedia buyout still annoys me as they killed off a lot of really great apps.
@badcatdesign Жыл бұрын
It's true for (CoSA's) After Effects and others too. What Adobe does bring though (most of the time) is a generally consistent UI as well as a decent clipboard and/or way to "round-trip" files from one app to another with less hoop jumping to make it all work. Of course, that comes at price - or... an ongoing monthly never-ending fee.
@tamis5908 Жыл бұрын
@@badcatdesign I find Adobe's interfaces way too cluttered - I switched to Affinity 4 yrs ago and have never looked back. I've been using Lunacy for awhile - never did use Figma much as I like working offline for dev. Affinity lets you round trip too - and its an inexpensive 1 time purchase for each program with free upgrades.

We are in the unfortunate position of needing to migrate from XD.. Figma seems good.. but dev mode pricing is a joke... and Pixso seems like a bit of a rough alternative.. but an option.. just that they don't support adobe fonts like Figma does so that's a big issue. They only support fonts that are downloaded to your machine.. not adobe CC fonts.. I have reached out to support and they have been useless.. doesn't bode well!

20 billion is utterly insane for Figma. That's 5 times more than Disney paid for *Star Wars.* I mean come on, this little vector UI design/mockup app they worked on for a few years is 5X more valuable than the biggest entertainment movie franchise ever? You better bet Adobe will be heavily monetizing it and removing free access in various ways. Figma is ruined, I would not recommend learning it or relying on it for anything at this point.
