Chamath Palihapitiya：Adobe以200亿美元收购Figma是设计领域具有里程碑意义的事件，Figma的快速增长和协同设计功能使其成为Adobe的重要收购目标。此次收购对Adobe股票价格造成短期冲击，但从长远来看，这笔交易可能对Adobe有利。
David Sacks：虽然Adobe收购Figma的价格看似很高，但考虑到Figma惊人的年经常性收入（ARR）增长速度，这笔交易是合理的。Figma的成功源于其客户至上的理念和将设计工具迁移到云端的创新。Adobe收购Figma的主要目的是消除其业务中最大的风险和威胁，并适应市场变化。收购价格看似高昂，但考虑到Figma的未来增长潜力，这笔交易对Adobe来说是值得的。Adobe需要谨慎处理Figma的整合，避免损害Figma的独立性和市场竞争力。
David Sacks：Adobe收购Figma是应对创新者困境的战略举措，旨在消除竞争威胁，并适应云计算和协同软件的市场趋势。Adobe需要在股东期望和创新投资之间取得平衡。与平台型企业相比，与单一产品企业竞争更容易。微软的捆绑策略具有反竞争性，Adobe不应效仿。
Chamath Palihapitiya：Adobe收购Figma类似于Facebook收购Instagram和Google收购YouTube，都是战略性收购，而非单纯的商业交易。Adobe需要关注潜在的未来竞争损害，而非仅仅关注现有市场份额。此次收购可能面临反垄断审查，但从长远来看，这笔交易对Adobe和消费者都有利。Adobe需要谨慎处理Figma的整合，避免损害Figma的独立性和市场竞争力。
