What's going on with Figma? After the recent announcements and a shift towards a less professional audience, I feel the product is becoming increasingly bloated, confusing, and complex. This is quite the opposite of what made me switch from Sketch to Figma: a straightforward app with good collaboration features. Now, Figma offers too many options, has a confusing pricing structure, and an approach that slightly repels me. After canceling the Adobe deal, it seems they want to create the Figma Suite themselves to craft an appealing story for the IPO.
The issue is that nobody uses the Adobe Suite. At its core, it gives a poor and unfocused experience.
After that, I revisited the Sketch website to see how our old friends are positioning themselves these days. The message still resonates.
