    Haven't made the jump; however, I have dabbled and this is something I often speak with interview candidates about.

    • Being web-based is pretty big, in my opinion, and one of Figma's larger benefits as it frees folks from having to be on a Mac.

    • Live collaboration is a handy feature. (Sketch is working on this)

    • Folks have told me Figma's type and vector tools are superior to Sketch.

    • You can import Sketch to Figma but not the other way around.

    • If you're reliant on InVision Figma wont play well, granted it has most of InVision's features built in.

    • A lot of folks have grown used to/reliant on specific plugins available only on Sketch.

    I'm assuming this question was based around switching from Sketch. I think there are pros/cons to both and the the competition is helping push both into a better place at a pretty rapid rate.

    Just some food for thought as I'm sure others can provide more first-hand experience based feedback. I'm also a little buzzed and newborn sleep deprived, so I'm sure I'm forgetting a bunch. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
