With macOS making it harder and harder to run X11 programs—I don't even know how, these days—is there anything that allows you to run an Xfig-alike on macOS? (I've seen recommendations for Inkscape, and I'll give it a try, but I was really practiced with Xfig and would like to be able to draw on that muscle memory if possible.)

XQuartz still exists and is still being updated, and you can either download and install it via an installer or install it via a package manager like MacPorts or Homebrew. It works just fine.

Things aren’t any harder now than they were when X11 was first unbundled and became XQuartz.
