Все пишут про то, что Adobe покупает Figma за $20 млрд.
Во-первых, я рад успеху Фигмы. Я помню, когда появлялся подобный софт для дизайнеров, был очень популярен Sketch, но он работал только на MacOS. У разработчиков спрашивали, почему они не хотят сделать доступным приложение для всех, а не только для маководов. Они отвечали, что используют специфичное API, которое есть только в MacOS, и без которого реализовать нужную функциональность невозможно. И вообще, у большинства дизайнеров мак, только маки нужны, а на остальных плевать.
Но вот пришла Фигма и сделала то же самое не только кроссплатформенно, а вообще в браузере. Это магия какая-то, как такое завелось и работает в браузере вообще. И теперь дизайнер может кинуть мне ссылку на макет, а мне даже устанавливать ничего не придется. При всех недостатках браузерного софта, в этом случае получилось очень удобно и уместно. Надеюсь, разработчики Скетча извлекли урок из своей лени и бестолковой идеологии.
Во-вторых, Adobe — единственный софт, который я пиратил до отказа компаний принимать русские деньги. Остальное или покупал или искал бесплатную альтернативу. А у Adobe и ценовая политика неадекватная, и неудобства при установке и регистрации. Лицензионный адобе в разы больше требовал и больше глючил, чем какой-нибудь "Repack by Васян" с рутрекера, устанавливающийся без единого лишнего вопроса к пользователю.
В целом в комментариях под этими новостями активно хоронят Фигму. Пророчат и исчезновение бесплатного тарифа (либо превращение его во что-то неюзабельное), и снижение корпоративной культуры, и много чего ещё. Ждём теперь Фигму как часть бандла за овердофига денег, в котором половина ненужного мусора.
