Toksta's take

Figma is a powerful collaborative design tool, excelling in shared design files, real-time collaboration, and robust prototyping. We at Toksta love Figma and use it ourselves. Businesses can streamline their design process, creating and maintaining consistent design systems through Team Libraries, and advanced prototyping features bring designs to life. The developer handoff is improved with Dev Mode, generating code snippets and integrating with VS Code. While the free version's organization limitations can hinder larger projects, the paid plans unlock unlimited files and crucial features.

The unlimited version history is a lifesaver. One noteworthy caveat is that organization can be tricky on the free tier.

To summarize, Figma's collaborative nature and comprehensive features make it a valuable asset for design teams.

What Users Love

Common Concerns

  • Widely considered the standard tool for UI/UX and web design, frequently appearing in job requirements.
  • Praised for its excellent collaboration features, allowing designers, developers, and stakeholders to work together seamlessly. It's seen as a great tool for developer handoff.
  • Users find it easy to learn, especially for those with a background in other design software. Many describe it as intuitive.
  • Users report that designing in Figma first is much faster for iterating on ideas and prevents constant back-and-forth during development.
  • Used for a wide range of tasks beyond UI/UX, including social media graphics, presentations, and exploring ideas.
  • A significant complaint is that Figma is poorly optimized and can be slow and resource-intensive ("memory / CPU / GPU" usage), especially on lower-end laptops or with large files.
  • There is a growing concern among UX professionals that Figma is pivoting away from its core user base to become a more "generalist" tool to prepare for an IPO, potentially neglecting features for designers.
  • New major features like "Figma Sites" are viewed as being in a beta state and not yet a serious competitor or replacement for other tools. The code it generates is described as "awful."
  • Some users feel its prototyping capabilities are too basic for creating intricate or high-fidelity simulations.
  • One critical article (though heavily disputed in the comments) suggests it can be used as a "Rube Goldberg machine for avoiding code," leading to overly complex designs that are difficult to implement.

Growth tip

Improve your client communication and reduce feedback cycles by using Figma's advanced prototyping features, specifically conditional logic and variables, to create interactive prototypes that accurately simulate the intended user experience. This allows clients to directly interact with the design and provide more specific, actionable feedback, reducing ambiguity and the number of revisions needed before development.
