Yep, it is a fat client with lousy performance. They tried to build Sketch + Principle in the same tool. Both those tools are super complicated software products. They should have created separate tools which complement each other.

Worse, they tried to accomplish this not with a Cocoa app (as Sketch and I believe Principle are), but in a heavy Electron app.

[edit] Sorry, I typed "Figma" for some reason when I meant to type "Principle."

Figma is definitely not a native app. It's a WebGL app that has been heavily optimized for performance, but it relies on a browser or browser-technology to do its job.
