This week I stumbled upon this Twitter thread by Justin Jackson.

The news about the recent $20 billion Figma acquisition by Adobe has been all around. And as usual, the reactions have not been long in coming. The popular conclusion is the one we often find in the media: Figma’s won Sketch.

But that results from the typical, misleading, winner-takes-all mindset that is so harmful.

Justin makes a powerful argument on why Sketch has not necessarily lost.
