This is good news! It was looking like Figma would be killed off.
If anything, Adobe XD would get the axe, not Figma. Figma is the industry leading design software for UX work. No way that would get killed.
Adobe had already announced that they were sunsetting XD with the announcement of their Figma aquisition, as Figma is much more successful and filled the same space. I guess now the question is whether they decide to reverse course and revive XD now that they won't be getting Figma
They 100% will revive it. They only removed it because they were confident to buy Figma.
