We didn't make any use of design products to the extent we use Figma as a team now, since the last year. We use Figma now for every single task that has wire frames, mockups, advertising, new web pages, business cards - it's our new photoshop I suppose but social and shared. If Adobe had anything like that before I wouldn't know.

This is another thing Figma gets super right. It's not simply a design tool for UX people, they discovered that people were making things like marketing ads, business charts and API architecture diagrams in it and doubled down, providing free templates and resources for those people. For example: https://www.figma.com/templates/google-cloud-diagram-softwar...

Then a step further, Figma opened up a Community resource where people can publish their own, which are so simple to consume. My wife is the general manager of a dog kennel / daycare facility and I have made several posters and documents for them in Figma.
