Every time I use Figma, I say to myself, “so we are reinventing Dreamweaver” and that’s not necessarily a bad thing. It’s absolutely absurd that Adobe bought Macromedia/Dreamweaver and did nothing with it. I have no doubt they will do the same thing with Figma. Yay product innovation!
- RandallBrown 3y agoI've used Figma a lot in the last few years but I haven't used Dreamweaver in over a decade. I've never thought to compare them as similar tools and I still can't really understand the comparison. Figma feels a lot closer to Illustrator than Dreamweaver to me.

- Dachande663 3y agoDreamweaver or Fireworks. I miss FW so much. It had that perfect blend of vector, bitmap, and text handling. Figma is the closest anything’s come to matching it.
- Antshockey 3y agoFireworks was the absolute best tool for anything graphical I've ever used
- ksimukka 3y agoI too miss Fireworks:
- ToDougie 3y agoI was able to work so much more effectively in Fireworks. RIP.
- adfm 3y agoAdobe could introduce a re-tooled Fireworks for teams and make a killing, but instead they went with XD, which failed to gain any traction, hence Figma.
- wwweston 3y agoThat's enough of an endorsement I might give Figma another go. I've delayed some macOS updates primarily because I don't want to leave FW behind, but it's getting to be well past time. Actually looking into acquiring a windows version / license so that I can run it virtualized on occasion. Wish there were something actively maintained that hit that same sweet spot.
- mindcrash 3y agoThey will need to do something with it, because they killed Adobe XD for it. If they don't do anything with it, this will drive people (back) to tools like Linearity, Pixelmator and Sketch in droves which will kill Creative Cloud - and the company. Believe me that they will not do that.
- gfodor 3y agoI think you meant Fireworks and yeah.
- hoofhearted 3y agoThe sale of Figma to Adobe got blocked correct? Or did I miss something?
- fasterthanlime 3y agoIt hasn't been finalized yet, I link to a bloomberg piece in the article from 10 days ago that says it _looks_ like they're going to go back on it but nothing confirmed afaict.
- hoofhearted 3y agoI thought the DOJ was pretty stern on blocking this deal as it would be anticompetitive to users and would result in the outcome others have described here in the comments. No?
- gorjusborg 3y agoEvery time I use Figma, I think... weird they would put a tool on the web and not use the web (especially when it is used so often to prototype designs for the web). Also, "what is taking so long for this page to load?".
