Kinda excited by this acqui-hire for once.

Google seems intent on building a good design tool, I hope that we will finally have a design tool for the adaptative UI era.

Let us hope. But what ends up happening in a big company is that their is tighter coupling between concerns, which locally looks like interference. At the very least it increases the resistance to iteration, and diffuses focus. Psychologically, I think it's also extremely difficult to go from being self-directed to manager-directed. That can build a lot of resentment that comes out in funny ways, like quitting.
