Overall Satisfaction with Figma

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I design user interfaces, I use it for wireframes, but also for high fidelity screens and documentation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Design system/components
Auto layout and creating organized frames
prototypes
create high fidelity screens

Cons

In my opinion, the prototype is still not very good. I miss Axure
In my opinion, variables are hard to understand
I think the new ui sucks
I think it would be great to have a classic "preferences" or "settings" section

Return on Investment

save developement time
documentation for developers
great for collaborative work

Usability

Its good overall. I think most things are easy to learn and use, but some are very difficult, like variables.

Figma is the best for collaborative work. Very easy to learn, so easy that most people dont use it properly (which is good and bad at the same time). Prototyping is where I'd wish it will improve. Axure was awesome.

Figma is great to design high fidelity screens. Figjam is ok, but still far from figjam. Figma prototyping is very very basic, it'd be great if it was like Axure.
