True and valuable design is timeless and smooth. It requires a lot of work and collaboration, which cannot be done using Figma.

To this day, the hidden elephant in the room for professional SaaS apps is breakpoints and the experience between them, including when and why to transition.

Figma supports the hyperactive single designer, not the ambitious industry designer who works on something that has stood the test of time for many years.

Apple has changed its UI twice since 2007, while Figma designers do it almost every day. I think there is a connection.

Great product leads understand that great design doesn't mean firing up Figma every day, but paradoxically doing the opposite. Consistency over time is a human condition.
