I've used Figma extensively and feel it's a great product. I can see why Adobe wanted to buy it. However, unlike Adobe, Figma is a point solution with a narrow focus whereas Adobe has a platform of products. Because of this I think Figma would struggle as a public company because they'd likely compete with Adobe and others for marketshare, which is hard to do when you just have one product line to offer. That being said, Figma is ran by a great team with a great product. Perhaps some other software giant will come along and want to acquire them. Not sure who.
