How shitty is Figma’s current “export as css/html/js” functionality? How many people do you think they have working on improving that? How many of the people Figma is paying to fool around with AI do you think are experimenting with building an AI stuffed full of css/html/js tokens, and other functionality for improving Figma’s ability to pick up working css/html/js, tweak it, and re-export it?

How incentivized is Figma to invest in a world where fewer developers pay for seats is the real question
I don't know if these are supposed to be leading questions, or questions combined with assuming an answer to make a point, but tl;dr code export is good.
I genuinely have no idea whether Figma's current code export is any better than FrontPage or Dreamweaver. I do web design stuff about once every four or five years and it mostly involves me firing up TextMate to edit Wordpress themes.
