I doubt that claim so much. Every Electron application I've ever used is seriously deficient in many ways. First every app has its own set of UI controls, so right there you loose one of the best things about native Mac apps, consistency. Next I've yet to find a single Electron app that doesn't break some core Mac feature such as copy/paste, system wide spellcheck, system wide dictionary, the emoji picker, system wide settings, scrollable area bounce, zoom, tabs, windows, menus, keyboard shortcuts, drag & drop, screenshots, and so on. Third every electron app consumes way to many system resources and almost all are painfully slow. But, hey I'll give Figma a try and report back. |

- I been waiting over two minutes for it to open a blank document created in the web version...three minutes still blank.
- Had to close and re-open. Still takes a few seconds to load a blank document.
- System wide spellchecker doesn't work.
- System wide dictionary doesn't work.
- Uses CPU time when it should be idle.
- One object on screen and it is already using more memory that any other process on my machines (and that includes Discord).
- It spawned 8 processes!
- Copying an object and pasting into another application doesn't work.
- Doesn't respect copy/paste with style and "Paste and Match Style."
- Doesn't support standard macOS accessibility.
I can probably go on, but honestly I'm not impressed and I'm bored.
