Seriously. Talk about revisionist history. The web dev workflow before Figma was awful. It never “worked as one”.

I love Figma’s dev mode. Saves me and the designer time from measuring sizes and eyedropping colors. Figma also allows me to export assets myself instead of waiting for the designer to do it, or do it myself poorly from Photoshop.

The relationship between design and dev is much more collaborative now. It was downright hostile pre-Figma with photoshop and illustrator files. Nevermind versioning, sharing and comments…

Figma dev mode is definitely better than a PSD file, but it is still a terrible hand off process.

I wasn't arguing that the handoff was ever good. I was saying when the person designing the UI also wrote the CSS you didn't need a handoff
