Fair push, thank you. Let me clarify where I'm coming from.

Re: Figma vs Illustrator –– totally agree Figma doesn't cover Illustrator's full surface area. But in a lot of product/UI/marketing work, "good enough + collaborative + extensible" beats "feature-complete." The fact students default to Figma signals where the center of gravity is drifting, even if print/illustration shops still anchor on Illustrator.

Re: Omarchy + Framework –– not claiming market dominance — it's tiny and new. My point is more about signal: indie dev culture experimenting with modular laptops + DHH's OS is the kind of early-edge activity that tends to foreshadow bigger cultural/tooling shifts.

I write from a Silicon Valley x indie dev POV: watching sparks at the periphery because that's often where the next fire comes from.
