> Adobe were caught-out with the success of Sketch and Figma for UI design, and with the Procreate painting app on the iPad. My impression is that Adobe's alternatives - XD and Fresco for the iPad - don't share the same "mindshare" among designers as those other apps.
Yes, but that’s not because they were late to the party. They had the app for this kind of work in Adobe Fireworks and they shut it down with no migration path. That’s what opened the market up for Sketch and later Figma. Now that the latter exist, there’s no reason to pay Adobe’s extortionate prices, or buy into their monopolistic business practices.
- whywhywhywhy 5y agoIt’s insane they didn’t see what they had with Fireworks, it had absolutely everything people gushed over with Sketch but a decade earlier. They killed it and half arsed added a few features to Il/PS and said “there just use those instead”
- mobilio 5y agoI still miss FireWorks. But management prefer expensive PhotoShop and kill FW.
- iask 5y agoSame sentiment here. I was able to whip up what I need quickly with FW.
