Pros and cons

  • Runs in the browser
  • Incredible collaboration features
  • Auto Layout is a superpower
  • Huge community plugin library

Cons

  • Dev Mode is now paid

Collaboration

Figma's multiplayer capability changed design forever. Developers, PMs, and designers can all be in the same file, iterating in real-time. It killed the "final_v2_final.psd" problem.
