Figma’s performance is excellent due in large part to the fact they compile a lot of native code to Wasm. Electron or not it’s still fast.

To answer your question, collaborative apps ideally need to target the widest possible audience. Barring a massive budget, the best way to accomplish this is to also have a singular compile/build target. In most cases, that’s the web platform.

Figma's performance is impressive for an Electron app, but it does choke on very large files, which Sketch would have handled without a care. It's not great.

If Sketch had had Figma's collaboration features, we wouldn't have switched. But during the pandemic it was necessary.

Ah, that's a shame. Good to know, thanks.
