This is great news!
Christmas came early. Adobe no longer acquiring Figma.
WOW!
Myself and thousands of other designers were not happy about the merger news despite the founder being excited about it. Sucks for them, but ultimately great for design community I think.

Indeed! I know I shouldn't be the happy about mergers or lack thereof but I am haha
My coworker just told me the original deal was $20 billion to buy Figma. For that amount of money, you should be able to start a space colony orbiting Saturn AND build a better Figma-like product. And Figma got a $1 billion termination fee. Clown world economics.
