A long-time Adobe user argues ADBE is losing design-software leadership to Figma and Canva and is no longer innovative.

ADBE — AVOID The author, a 15+ year Adobe user, argues Adobe has shifted focus from software innovation to distribution and no longer looks innovative. He says designers in his circle are migrating to Figma and Canva, which he finds more capable, eroding Adobe's market-leader status. He does not expect the situation to improve soon.

Overall, ADBE is losing their status as market leader in design software. And as I'm not viewing ADBE as an innovative company, I don't think the situation will get better soon.
