      Yeah, major bullet dodged there. Just when I started actually appreciating Figma and heard about the Adobe plans, I automatically felt like I just need to hate Figma to not get used to it too much — just in case.

      The CMA in the UK thankfully is independent of parliament, and therefore has a fighting chance of actually being competent.

      If I read it right, Adobe is going to pay Figma a billion dollars since the deal didn’t go through. Good for Figma?
