Adobe Xd is dead?

[BryanPS]

I wonder why there is no important updates in Adobe Xd functionality? Since few years this projest slowed down. Why you guys don't add very important features like borders only on one edge of the squere etc? There are lots of tickets in the queue that all users are waiting. 

There was a time after beta version of Xd when each upade had at least one imporant feature. Now I can't see any game changing updates.

@BryanPS As you know, Adobe announced its intent to acquire Figma on September 15, 2022. But, faced regulatory hurdles, particularly in the UK and EU. In May 2023, Xd went into 'Maintenance Mode' and is still there. On December 18, 2023, both Adobe and Figma mutually agreed to terminate the merger agreement. This means the acquisition did not go through. 

In simpler terms, Adobe XD is no longer being actively developed. This means you won't see any new features or major updates added to the software. However, Adobe is still providing essential support, like fixing bugs and ensuring it stays secure.

Think of it like an old car. While it still runs and is safe to drive, it won't get any new bells and whistles. Adobe has committed to maintaining it for now, but it's uncertain how long this will continue.
