This is absolutely huge, I shed a tear of joy. Is this a case where the "regulatory review process" actually... worked? Can't think of another example in big software acquisitions in recent years.

I hope we won't look back on this small celebration as the day the project gets abandoned because the Figma team can no longer afford to keep it running.

I empathize with the employees at Figma whose enthusiasm is turning into disappointment, yet as a customer, I'm relieved.
