The slides product looks cool but can’t imagine paying for slides when Google has it for free. The UI3 also looks cleaner but I get a sense that Figma is going to get complicated and awkward very quickly pricing wise. I miss the simple days. These tools are just that, tools.

Didn’t watch Config, but got the email summarizing the features. Seems kinda crazy they are nickel and diming on the slides and AI features, would’ve assumed they are included in subscriptions. What’s more, charging for AI features while also training on your designs by default…
Agreed. I led adoption of Figma in my last org, we had everyone in engineering, product and even the exec level using it. But then people found FigJam and licensing/budgeting became a headache. Still crazy to me that even FigJam isn't rolled into the core subscription.
Actually led us to exploring alternatives like Lunacy or going back to Sketch.
I do love the look and feel (ie native responsiveness) of Sketch, but the less powerful prototyping and auto layout make it hard to switch back
