What other beloved product has MS acquired and made a lot better?
- airstrike 3y agoGitHub? But that's not the point. The point is the value of not having Figma sell to its largest competitor.

- airstrike 3y agoI'm not saying Adobe competes with Microsoft. Adobe competes with Figma. The fact that Microsoft doesn't compete with Figma is precisely why it's ok for the former to acquire the latter.
- meowtimemania 3y agoMicrosoft seems to be pretty hands off when it comes to acquisitions. Github/LinkedIn were both a acquired and each have grown a lot since the acquisition.
