I used to love Figma, but ever since the – now failed – attempt at being acquired by Adobe, they've been aggressively doubling down on anti-user, Adobe-like practices. It's like they failed to be acquired and somehow decided to just pick the Adobe philosophy anyway. I assume part of this is due to the current context; funding with free money must be harder than before, even though it seems they're in the middle of a new round right now[1].

I can't blame them for squeezing their customers as much as possible; they're the superior product, after all.
