> Adobe has probably captured back both mental and market share from Figma

Unlikely. Based on the google trends [1], Figma sees around 10x more traffic than Firefly, but more importantly it experiences severe weekend drop-offs, meaning people are using it for work. Firefly on the other hand has a constant amount of attention, in line with people playing around with it but not committing to it for serious projects.

Anecdotally I work in UI/UX space as a contractor and I've been given every design in Figma, I hadn't even heard of Firefly until this comment.

Things happen quickly and AI will change things quickly. Figma is nearly 8 years old and Firefly isn't even a year old.

Of course a massive tool is going to be bigger than a very new tool and there is a lot of momentum at companies.

The future is going to be AI/prompt based because it's a 100x speed savings. Who wins that pie is up for debate but Figma as it stands right now is very disruptable.
