Broadly this is great to see and I’m sure the team has worked hard on this.

But can’t help but feel like this is a bit of knee jerk reaction to the growth of the much smaller open source product Penpot, that’s received increasing interest and even some funding since the Figma sale was announced.

Penpot has bet on making all the controls match the html/css spec as well as save everything as svg, in short having a big focus on making devs first class stakeholders.

This feels like a late response following Penpot Fest that ran recently and announced many cool dev features.

Wouldn't that be a good thing? Armchair regulators have been booing the Adobe acquisition on the grounds of "something something competition" -- this seems to prove that yes, indeed, great design tools can still be created in a post Adobe Figma world, and those upstarts can spur Figma to continue to compete.
