I disagree.

If you use a tool like Figma and you DON'T want the cloud features you have to pay a sub for ever.

If you have 100s of sketch files they work forever without needing to pay any continued fees.

I have sketch files from 5+ years ago i can still open with my copy of Sketch but with Figma, having over 2(?) files in a "project" requires a subscription.

I like that they give you options and you can find the one that works for you. Running collaborative cloud features isnt free for them, so i understand paying for it.

I DO NOT understand paying a monthly fee for a tool that never uses "the cloud" and i wish more tools had this kind of model.

Yes, but wouldn't expect it to be a bit cheaper than the subscription version? Also you can't open files from the cloud in the Mac only version.

It's unclear to me how the Cloud licensing works; can you keep using Sketch when you stop paying or?
