Figma has been one of my favorite tools for the past two years. I felt like I was getting a $100-a-month product for free. Now with the news of the acquisition, I wonder how this will impact both their pricing structure and the overall app. Does adobe want to roll it into the creative suite? Do they want to leave it alone and just keep trying to grow it? I worry that when these types of products get bought it really changes the company culture. That being said congrats to the entire Figma team, and hopefully, Adobe can help you keep pushing the product forward.

My immediate reaction is 'congratulations to the Figma team on a great exit!' I don't think we have anything to worry about in the short to medium term so I wouldn't worry about it for now. It takes a huge amount of effort and planning to merge products. Even if they wanted to do it quickly it would take years.

the press released said it would remain a seperate product, and the current CEO will still run or oversee it
