Doesn't Figma have a free tier? That changes everything.

Does it? To me, that just says "Locking my data in a platform that can suddenly decide to charge me for functionality."

Yup, better get rid of your GitHub account then as well
You said this sarcastically, but it is really good advice.

Note that Microsoft now has two controls on your digital identity. Login with Office365 and Login with Github.

If they pull a Google and disconnect you, you're in a world of hurt if you don't have otherwise.

Tech folks should have never allowed GitHub to become the monopoly it did.

I use figma for personal projects and I've never forked out a dime.
So do many adobe products, including XD; their Figma competitor
XD was actually their Sketch competitor. What makes Figma remarkable is the ability to use it on the web. I wonder if Adobe will keep this aspect.
Sketch... competes with Figma. They're UI/UX tools. What makes Figma great was their collaboration first element, which they will be keeping. Adobe was going down the web path as well https://blog.adobe.com/en/publish/2021/10/26/creative-cloud-...
