I tried uninstalling Adobe software from my PC a few weeks ago.

Clicking on ‘uninstall’ booted up their cloud launcher app, and then I had to log in with an account, and then it had to install four or five different updates in sequence, and then it tried auto-updating the software I had installed, and after about thirty minutes of making sure Adobe obtained all of their analytics I was finally able to uninstall everything.

It is one of the worst user experiences I’ve ever encountered in recent times and it is a sign of what will happen to Figma under Adobe’s leadership. Figma is too much of a threat to them, so they can just squash it in an acquisition.

The revamped Serif suite is much nicer.

I own all the Serif products and love the company, but have to say v2 is so buggy on windows still. I hear it's better on mac, though I've had it crash on iOS a few times. I've gone back to mostly using designer v1.
