Can you give some examples? I'm thinking of flash, but that was bound to die anyway.

FreeHand is probably the most high profile, if not well known nowadays, since it led to a lawsuit brought by pissed off ex-FreeHand customers (which ultimately ended in a shitty settlement).

There's also a full list of their acquisitions here, which might be fun to scroll through: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_acquisitions_by_Adobe

Figma is the most recent. Behance and Frame.io are some other high-profile Adobe acquisitions.

FWIW, Flash is still very widely used in the 2D animation industry, as Adobe Animate.
