It's kind of endemic to html emails.

Each client chooses how it represents html and css differently. And especially for things like dark mode, they can throw out your design entirely. So you generally stick with 20 year old design practices - lots of nesting tables - safe webfonts - flat designs etc. It's really hard to do any design work without an inbox preview tool like Litmus.

One specific feature that Figma really needs is an easier way to measure distances between elements. In email, you have to build whitespace using a lot of incongruous methods (line-height, breaks, cellpadding, etc). So the Figma padding information often doesn't work, and just having a simple way to draw a line between two elements and getting a measurement would be a real help.

There is a way to do this in Figma. While an element is selected, hold Alt and hover your cursor over any other element, and it will show the gap distance.
