Meh, "design is a team sport" - great, everyone gets to jump in and play decorator and backseat drive. There are a lot of people with knives, but that doesn't make them a brain surgeon.
My design team and myself will take the sanctity of a native app to create quality work any day versus a "design" free for all in the browser with everyone playing decorator.
- danielrd 6y agoExcept teams benefits from Figma far more than on sketch. Design systems, plugins, multiplayer for holding critique/retros/planning, version control, etc put Figma far ahead of Sketch. I manage a design team and there’s no way in hell we would go back to Sketch. To even think that having a “native” app has any bearing isn’t accurate at all. Sketch is so slow compared to Figma. You aren’t using multiplayer everyday but when you do need it, there’s nothing like it.
- sizzle 6y agoAdobe XD does all these things and has Miro integration for seamless collaboration and works in windows and Mac. Any reason why I would use Figma instead?
- SebastianKra 6y agoI think Adobe's business strategy is a compelling reason. Knowing that they had a monopoly on creative software, they raised the prices to the point of completely locking out a significant portion of their userbase. If they could, they would do the same to XD.
- Andrew_nenakhov 6y ago> plugins Seeing you write this, a doubt creeps that you ever used Sketch.
- whywhywhywhy 6y agoDefinitely agree these sort of tools only help you if you have a functioning team, but this goes across everything. Had a manager come close to what I would consider bullying in my Google Docs before, would have been a complete nightmare using Figma with him, I would have outright refused to use it. But if your team itself is functioning well and has respect for each others input it works well.
