I've seen the same sentiment from other InVision users, including myself. It seems like they spread themselves too thin when they started working on InVision studio. Almost to the point where I wonder how much usability testing they actually do these days on their core product. Which is ironic coming from a company whose whole point of existence is to facilitate that sort of thing.

I was giving them the benefit of doubt for a while and waiting for them to get their act together. But all hope was lost when I got their last survey where they had me categorize a boat load of features into four buckets: must haves, should haves, nice to haves, and I think shouldn't haves. I think I categorized 90% of the features into nice-to-haves, and the rest in should haves. Of course, there was no "don't know, don't care" bucket. And not one of the "features" was "improve the existing user experience".

So I feel like they are falling into the usual trap of piling on features to the product, and they are not listening to their existing users to improve the current (core) product.

But I get it, one must feed the beast in order to raise $115M.
