Same experience here. I prefer Sketch, but Figma has won out. My only guess for why Figma has won is because they handle prototyping a lot better than Sketch. The performance (and the fact that it's a browser) makes it barely usable for me, but I don't know any team that doesn't use Figma.
- sbarre 5y agoFigma also wins on collaboration and extensibility. I work in a large org (50+ designers) and the ability to collaborate on work, and also engage our internal teams to build very specific plugins and extensions very quickly and easily made this an easy switch from Sketch a little over a year ago.
- solidr53 5y agoFigma also wins on Auto-layout and variants. Especially helpful on UI library teams.
- askafriend 5y agoFigma also just updated their mobile apps - looks like they're taking it much more seriously now. You can view any file on mobile, and I'm sure editing is coming down the line. If they can make really great mobile apps (including iPad), then it'll be a really hard sell on anything else - especially from a collaboration perspective.
- yesimahuman 5y agoBeing a web app that runs anywhere including Windows was a pretty significant difference back when it mattered and Sketch didn’t have web support. Turns out that was more important than being a purist native Mac app
