Adobe buys Figma

Adobe, market leader for in graphical design (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, XD, Dreamweaver...) has bought Figma, the new digital creative designer favourite.

Figma was founded 10 years ago and has a strong collaborative creative cloud based platform. It has a recurring revenu of $400 million a year and is valued at $10 billion. $10 billion is exactly what Adobe is paying in cash, but it adds another $10 billion in shares; 

It is Adobe's biggest acquisition to date, and a heft price to take out a competitor.
