I can guess what's coming next: dev mode will get locked behind the "editor" per user pricing and then it's going to become a pain getting stuff out of Figma.

I can guess what's coming next: dev mode will get locked behind the "editor" per user pricing and then it's going to become a pain getting stuff out of Figma. Also, there's an annoying "bug" in Figma when it tries to implement its own hotkeys: I have various Ctrl/Cmnd key combos swapped and hitting Ctrl causes Figma to de-select whatever I've highlighted so that trying to copy some portion of a colour code or whatever with Ctrl+C causes me to copy nothing but thin air.

They already announced that in ~1 year dev mode will become a paid feature - 25 bucks a month per dev, or 35 if you’re on the “enterprise” plan.

  $25/mth seems like an egregious price for such an unhelpful feature. I understand it will get better, but at this point... I can't imagine paying more than $5/mth on top of my current price assuming it was more polished. Maybe I'm not the target market. I can transcribe visuals to CSS and HTML fairly automatically due to so many years of doing it, and I can do it reliably and consistently in ways that fit various workflows and other challenges. I understand Figma probably wants dev mode to provide a source of truth and gradually add some show stopping features, but even then... $25 is so much. I already feel like Figma costs me more than I want to pay for it. Their pricing model is really aggressive.

    Dev Mode is included in the $15 per editor Professional tier. $25 Dev Mode stand-alone subscription is a less expensive option for Organization or Enterprise tiers, which are $45-75 per editor.

      Ah. I feel silly now. Thanks for pointing that out, and I’ll try to do my research next time.

        No biggie. They weren't very clear about it at Config. They explained it better in a follow-up webinar.

  Was Figma always so ridiculously expensive? I guess it’s no surprise my company doesn’t want all the devs to have editor seats.
