Figma is a vector drawing app that was originally for UX design (an Adobe XD competitor), but they just added a bunch of graphic design tools that compete with Adobe Illustrator.
Canva does a lot of raster and vector image editing that originally targeted people that were not design pros, but they’ve been adding a lot of features that allow people to make some professional quality stuff stuff with ease.
All in all, both companies are growing into the spaces Adobe dominated. If you were a UX designer who needed to occasionally use Illustrator for a more detailed illustration, maybe you no longer need that Adobe CS license.
Canva also owns Affinity, which is a direct competitor to some of adobe's main offering.
This had better not leave to further enshitification of the PDF format, I will snap if signing government forms gets any worse.
now we need a photoshop equivelent, and i mean all of photoshop's features in one piece of software, not 3 combined
Affinity, Photopea, etc. There are a few.
