I’ve been a Figma user for quite some time and I’m a big fan of how it operates as a cloud-based design platform. However, recently I’ve observed a trend that seems similar to Adobe’s earlier approach. It appears that Figma is focused on introducing various new tools instead of improving its core software. Additionally, the pricing structure seems to be shifting. It feels as though the priority is on creating a suite of applications rather than enhancing the existing features of Figma. Given Adobe’s history, I’m concerned about the potential direction Figma is taking. Do you think Figma might stop innovating on its main platform and just keep adding new tools to maintain higher prices? I’d like to know other designers’ perspectives on this developing situation.
Having worked in environments where tool consolidation is crucial, I see Figma’s expansion as quite distinct from Adobe’s previous approach. Adobe tended to acquire disparate tools and poorly integrate them, whereas Figma is developing features that cohesively enhance workflows. The key difference lies in Figma’s web-based, collaborative foundation, which alleviates the bloat issues that plagued Adobe’s desktop applications. However, I share your concerns about pricing; our team’s costs have notably increased over the last year. The critical factor will be whether these new tools address real challenges or merely serve to inflate subscription costs. While tools like FigJam have been undeniably useful, I remain vigilant against the risk of feature creep compromising performance for the sake of added features.
