That would be incredible, please do! Figma is the only design tool that actually approaches design from an engineering standpoint, which can be seen in their feature set of things like having reusable components, variants, inheritance etc, which then maps very cleanly onto the code side.

I'm not a fan of Figma at all and I am forced to use it since there is no better alternative. I found Adobe XD was better but it's getting discontinued (EDIT: last time I heard - I might be wrong? Can't find info on this anymore) and it doesn't run on Linux.

My biggest gripe with Figma is the fact that you can only use components from the same file, unless you're paying (and even then you have to use a team, even if you are the only member, then create a project and add the file with the components in the project, enable sharing of the components, and make sure your second file is in the same project... not exactly a seamless experience, in a UX prototyping software of all places).

Shall you decide not to pay and give up to only using components from the same file, good luck organizing it neatly, since you only get 3 pages.

They need subscriptions to make money, and paywalling shared asset libraries is how they make sure that you can effectively have a full feature free trial permanently. I really don’t see the problem here. A subscription is what, $12? You need to pay for an adobe CC license to have XD.

Many of those features are in other apps. It's surely a difference of degree rather than kind?

(I can't reel off a list as I don't do design day to day any more but I used to and I was a fan of apps that had exactly this approach.

The degree matters IMO. The ones in Sketch or XD are laughable compared to Figma.
