Yet Figma blows Illustrator and Sketch out of the water.
A lot it’s really just down to developer talent and how much they care about it. Examples exist in the world proving it’s possible. Illustrator is slow for the same reasons, no one working on it cares about what they’re building. But still it would need 10x speed improvements in multiple areas to beat Figma now.
- eloisius 5y agoAnd Office360 is about as bad as Google Docs. It's honestly probably not a JavaScript problem. Some mixture of businesses not giving a damn about quality because it's more profitable to play the acquire-integrate-exterminate game than make quality software, lower barrier to entry meaning we get more developers who are productive because of better tooling, but probably in over their heads making performance-critical things like input controls in JavaScript, and piles of new abstractions without the old abstractions ever going away.
