How did you get burned by Figma? What has Figma done since it announced it's getting acquired by Adobe that has burnt you?


Adobe acquiring Figma is like suddenly realising you're living on a floodplain. Sure your house might not be flooded right now but you better sure have plans in place for when it does, and honestly you're probably better just looking for a new house so you no longer have the stress of wondering when it will flood.


Are you waiting for Figma to get an Adobe-style pricing plan? The general sentiment is that it was a nice house, but now it is burning. Run while you can!


What does this mean? They're both based on subscriptions. Don't most designers already have CC subscriptions?

Is it the lack of a free tier that's the problem?


Designers might. As a developer it was a great relief that pretty much all of the designers I work with adopted Figma. I could finally stop paying $500/y just to view files. With Figma I don't pay anything and can thoroughly inspect designs and export assets as needed without paying a cent (of course most of the designers that are creating the designs pay for a subscription).


Adobe is the Burn.
