A new version of Adobe XD

Ooh, this is very interesting. Clearly a competitor for XD which they either want to use to replace XD or kill off so XD has a better chance. Those with a CC subscription will like the news, assuming it will fall within the subs (which it surely must). Those who don’t have CC but pay for Figma might not like having to shell out for CC unless Adobe keep it as a separate subscription.
My favorite parts of the public announcement are:
Adobe is deeply committed to keeping Figma operating autonomously and I will continue to serve as CEO, reporting to David Wadhwani.

I tried that some time ago but it just isn’t as good. Perhaps I need to look at it again, though.
It isn’t a feature rich as Figma and it probably never will. On the bright side, it’s not owned by Adobe and it probably never will
