Designers sure do seem to complain about figma a lot tho.



Designer here. I have lots of things I can point out for Figma to address or change, but the reason I have these off the top of my head is:

- out of all tools, I picked Figma as clearly the best for UI design

- I've used it enough that I run into multiple edge cases and limitations

- it's my job to identify such limitations and document how they might be addressed by changing the product.

Addressing the root comment, Figma is a design tool with basic prototyping offered, it's not not a prototyping or web publishing tool. It's why it's not judged as a Frontosge (or rather 25 years later, Webflow) alternative.


Designer here. They really shouldn't because it is de facto the industry standard and no other software even comes close. Why do you think Adobe was willing to buy it for 20B


Do they? The designers I’ve worked with all absolutely loved Figma.


Designers I’ve worked with love it. But they complain about it all the time.


Seems about right! Do you even love a tool if you don’t complain about it?


It's the same as with Photoshop. Sometimes, stuff doesn't work, but it's the best that's around.


Doesn't ever profession complain about the tools they use?
