- the_mar 4y agoOk cool. Still better than forking over 100s of dollars a month for CC
- TylerE 4y agoIf you're paying hundreds, you're getting ripped off. The full CC suite is $55/month
- skyyler 4y agoBut that's not the point. The point is that we dislike Adobe and we don't want to deal with them in any context.
- TylerE 4y agoSo feels not reals?
- the_mar 4y agoNo the point is that adobe has shitty business practices and their software is also bloated and crappy and has done fuck all to make my life as a designer easier in the past decade. The fact that overwhelming amount of designers switched over to figma in the past few years, proves that how people feel about adobe is very real. Personally I am never thrilled to switch software and endure initial period of relearning how to do my job in a new tool unless there are measurable advantages. I ve used adobe products since the age of 12 and not having to install their crappy software on any computer since 2019 has been liberating af
- skyyler 4y agoIf you want to frame it that way. We have learned experience being hurt by Adobe. Ignoring that would be silly.
- LoganDark 4y agoThis argument doesn't always work. Big tech like Google will definitely harvest my data and do actually-nefarious things with it that actually affect me, since I use their services, but what is Figma going to do? Sell my data to advertisers? Advertisers already know about me, but they can't reach me anyway, so that data is useless to them except in aggregation. I'm a product to a lot of companies but not all of them are worth being concerned about.
