Penpot is great, free, and doesn't rat** you. Oh and it's made by a kickass collective. That is where I went when I binned Figma.

Penpot is great! It works really well, and the UX design is solid. Except for the few times I tried it, it ground to a halt after a couple hours and ten frames, crashing the tab when trying to do common things like add a text object (which can't be transformed into a path yet btw, rip). Oh well, must be something wrong with my browser...
What is "rat**"?
For some reason, 2 of my "*" symbols were truncated.
Let's hope they find a sustainable business model, because the people working there needs salaries and hosting needs paying...
Their collective seems to be thriving: https://kaleidos.net/

But I don't have the expertise to know for sure.

Also, made in Clojure/Script fwiw :)
