       | Figma continues to be the standard across my org overtaking
       | Sketch a little over a year ago.

         | Same experience here. I prefer Sketch, but Figma has won out.
         | My only guess for why Figma has won is because they handle
         | prototyping a lot better than Sketch. The performance (and the
         | fact that it's a browser) makes it barely usable for me, but I
         | don't know any team that doesn't use Figma.

           | I work in a large org (50+ designers) and the ability to
           | collaborate on work, and also engage our internal teams to
           | build very specific plugins and extensions very quickly and
           | easily made this an easy switch from Sketch a little over a
           | year ago.

             | Especially helpful on UI library teams.

               | Figma also just updated their mobile apps - looks like
               | they're taking it much more seriously now. You can view
               | any file on mobile, and I'm sure editing is coming down
               | the line.
               | 
               | If they can make really great mobile apps (including
               | iPad), then it'll be a really hard sell on anything else
               | - especially from a collaboration perspective.

           | Being a web app that runs anywhere including Windows was a
           | pretty significant difference back when it mattered and
           | Sketch didn't have web support. Turns out that was more
           | important than being a purist native Mac app

       | Very cool. I know I would love to see more 3D elements
       | incorporated into UI. Nothing obnoxious (please no literal
       | parallax scrolling) or impractical (e.g. the fsn 3D file system
       | navigator). More like skeuomorphic UI but with real time lighting
       | and shadows.

       | Can't explain why, tried them both with r3f, i think it's just
       | about API design and framer starts to fall through once you start
       | connect ing multiple animated nodes with interaction.
       | 
       | If Framer would rewrite one of their demos it would help -
