Question
With the sunsetting of XD, what's left?
Dear Adobe,
As we witness the death throes of XD, and the rise of Figma as it's heir apparrent, users are left in limbo. At the very least, I would have expected answers to three basic questions:
- Why isn't there a published road map, especially for XD users?
- Are XD users now expected to pay full price for a Figma subscription as a reward for adopting and help in building it?
- Is there anyone at Adobe even in charge of this process?
I've been an Adobe user for several years and I can honestly state, I've not witnessed a worse product acquisiton.
- From the outside, the acquistion has all the appearences of a good thing.
- From the inside:
- It appears no one has actually taken the time to think this through.
- Or, worse, they have thought it through and realize how screwed up it is.
I dare say the acquisition of MacroMedia, which was far more complex, was model of efficiency. With Figma, it's as if the process was thought out over lunch one day and no one took notes.
Your Loyal but overwhelmingly Frustrated User,
Alan Jones
