Same question here. Figma has been the most buttery experience on my 2016 13" MacBook Pro and haven't looked back. That goes for browser or native wrapper.
The test was made using the desktop version of the app. I haven’t checked using Figma running in Chrome, but I would assume the results should be very similar, given the desktop Figma app uses Electron/Chromium, and I believe it runs identical code to the browser version (WebAssembly and WebGL). I should test to confirm that though.

Have feedback?
Marc, when you were performing the Figma test, was this primarily through the downloadable app or via one of the browsers? If so, which?
