    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.
