Adobe offered me a reduced rate subscription over the phone after I cancelled my subscription. No qualifications mentioned. I accepted. A year and a half later I noticed I had been charged 3-4x the reduced rate each month for the last 6 months. I tried to get my money back, they refused. I cancelled my subscription and vowed never to touch Adobe products again.

I was in a position at my company to end our use of XD and immediately move to Figma. We've grown 3x since and Figma's been great. For personal work I prefer Sketch it looks and feels like a native app.

Figma is great, but I do want to note that Adobe XD is free (or at least it was last time I checked).
It was free in the early days but over time teams and individuals were funneled into paying. At least in my region, you can still get a 7 day trial, but beyond that you have to pay.
