Hi,

1. Plugins are coming but I still its overrated imho.
2. Figma is definitely not focused on mobile - we do a ton of work with desktop viewports (basically who does one or the other when working for the web anymore).
3. A cloud based design tool as in anything has many benefits but of course there are drawbacks. For us the drawbacks are minimal.

Yes, they are lovely. The whole set is part of the design.

its a nice tool no arguments but its an extra cost with not any real benefits of using the figma devhand off feature which basically does the same thing.

Or just use figma and no need for any of these tools.

With Figma you don't need Zeplin as Figma has dev handoff as part of it.

I was in the exact same place and (ahem) similar age. The younger designers picked it up easily as most came from sketch.

I do not want to list the benefits of Figma as there are too many. Note that its a tool that a kid learning about UI design can use for Free and on any OS. Many people can't afford a macbook which is a requirement for Sketch. XD is multi-platform but I still think its not as universal as the browser and it will never be. I know web devs who are running Linux and are using Figma.

Older (ahem) designers are far more cautious than the young ones in our team to use Figma. I get it but the cloud is where the puck is going - there are too many benefits compared to offline.

We did that and its working perfectly.

You can basically kill Sketch, Zeplin, Invision by using Figma on one go - this is what we did.
