      Seriously, Adobe is up there for having some of the most anti-consumer product policies ever.

      They’re a shit company that deserves to die.

        Not sure how good it is but check out Penpot, a FOSS alternative to Figma:

      It’s a prototyping tool. You use it to whip up something quick and get proper feedback before spending efforts on developing the actual thing.

      Adobe XD and Figma were direct competing products. That’s why XD’s discontinuation by Adobe coupled with Figma’s acquisition is seen as a sort of reverse killer acquisition.
