> Serious question, what about Figma is unique to a cloud app over a desktop app with cloud features. There's probably nothing unique about it, but the server/browser model allows anyone on a team to access the Figma project as long as they have a web browser, while a classic client/server model would require a dedicated client software to be installed to access the project. On my last job, we switched from using Abstract for sharing designs between the designers and developers, to using Figma for both designing and sharing between all team members, and the switch was a huge success. Speaking for myself alone, the experience on Abstract was pretty terrible: the native application didn't have a Linux version, and the web client was dog-slow, buggy and limited in features. Figma, on the other hand, being the same web client for everyone, meant a pretty decent experience from the get go, which was a welcome change TBH.
