Adobe had already announced that they were sunsetting XD with the announcement of their Figma aquisition, as Figma is much more successful and filled the same space. I guess now the question is whether they decide to reverse course and revive XD now that they won’t be getting Figma
Headline should reflect that it’s because of regulators, Adobe for sure would like to be a monopoly. Second time we were saved since Nvidia buying Arm got canceled.
Well, specifically, a market monopoly for UX design tools. They already have a pretty strong stranglehold over other creative disciplines. Illustration, photography, graphic design, print publishing, etc.
Like UX, there are lots of smaller alternatives, but Adobe’s apps dominate the pro space.

This is good news! It was looking like Figma would be killed off.
If anything, Adobe XD would get the axe, not Figma. Figma is the industry leading design software for UX work. No way that would get killed.

They 100% will revive it. They only removed it because they were confident to buy Figma.

Could somebody explain this “figma balls” joke? There are no entries on urban dictionary.

Ah, headline should of read then “You Won’t Believe How Big Government Steps In And Crushes This Person’s* Freedom”
*Person refers to Adobe, see laws and regulations of the United States
So, does the Adobe XD team hang around now? Adobe was signaling that XD was going to get axed for Figma.

An modern style illustrator vector program. It’s a lot like Adobe Illustrator but with an easier to understand UI.
