Penpot is pretty great even in production environments. It hews much closer to web standards in for things like layout (flexbox and grid), supports working completely offline and doesn’t use a proprietary file format.

What they don’t have is the inertia of Figma and being as-good-as or maybe a little better isn’t enough to get the traction they need.

Based on the linked article's description it's much worse.

The only real problem I saw there was that it used text instead of paths for text.

In browsers that’s not a big problem generally.

For other platforms, what would happen if OP printed to PDF from the browser instead of exporting the SVG to PDF with a separate program?
