Adobe bought Macromedia and killed off fireworks. I still run the last version they made.

I know your pain.

Once you learn how to do everything in an editor and they stop supporting it you need to either reinvest time into learning a new editor or in supporting the obsolete one.

I’ve chosen the latter for now mostly because there doesn’t seem to be a clear winner in the market and I hate to keep investing time in learning new workflows every couple of years to do the same task when I can just keep a VM operating to support an obsolete editor.

At least you can do that, with the shift to SaaS people are going to be out of luck when these projects get abandoned.

Yeah, that's why I'm still wary of using Figma.

Great though it is, I'm worried about all my designs going up in smoke if the company gets bought and shut down by Adobe or Google or someone.
