Figma is the current trendy choice for design software in big tech. But give it a few years and it'll change again. Tech is full of followers.
Personally I find it to be absolute garbage. It's so much harder to navigate and use as a non-designer than something like zeplin.
That could perhaps be explained by the fact that Zeplin does not have in any way the same goal as Figma.
Zeplin is not a design software, it's a presentation and sharing platform. Yes, the one-trick pony is easier to navigate than the software used to create the damn ponies, that's not much of a surprise.
I literally said I'm a non-designer so why would I know about the design side? Nice job being a fucking asshole about it.
The topic is competition in software for designers. I have no idea what the fuck you think your point is, but I’m pretty sure it’s irrelevant.
It is not irrelevant. The simple truth is that designs in figma are absolutely useless unless they are being accessed by non designer. And as a non designer myself I find search and navigation quite lacking. Other aspects, like dev mode, are good, though.
It is absolutely irrelevant. Your point is the equivalent of saying that a kid's bike with side wheels is easier to ride than 500cc racing bike, therefore racing bikes are just a "trendy choice" and people are silly for using them on races.
Ignorance is not an excuse for your bad arguments.
Side wheels? It is more like "you get in through the hatch, we do not have doors".
