I'm a designer of 40+ years experience. I finally tried Figma the other day. 1. It was almost impossible to work out how to use it - oh the irony! 2. The masses of videos that they post are terribly produced and don't explain how Figma works, just features babbling talking heads and awful 1970s graphics patterns. 3. I expected to be launched into a nice intuitive canvas where I could drag and drop elements, enter text to caption them and so on. Nope! Awful UX. 4. Was obvious the app is owned by a huge over staffed corporation with no direction, just a desire to grow stock value through complex subscription models. More revenue for Adobe.
I am closing our company account and going back to sketching UX concepts on my superb Amazon Scribe (Gen 1) and then creating proper mockups and such using Adobe Illustrator, draw.io and even the simple but useful to have it their, drawing app built into Google Docs. (Insert > Drawing > New) The latter two allow collaboration or sharing. What I really want when working remotely from my team is a huge eInk whiteboard for under £2000/$2000.
