    I've been using XD exclusively but I hear they've axed it? Argh, I guess I need to learn sigma now aaaaaand pay for another fucking thing.

    Is sigma far superior to XD? anyone try both?

    • Of course it's superior. Otherwise Adobe wouldn't kill XD. And it's kinda old news :)NBQ00
    • Figma is by far superior to XD. I used XD for years. Switched to Figma about 1.5-2 years ago and haven’t looked back!lvl_13
    • BTW the learning curve from xd to figma is really easy. Once you figure out subtleties between the two you should be golden.lvl_13
    • Ya, Figma does way more, but I only needed XDs functionality at the time. Glad I made the switch as Figma has a great ecosystemGnash
    • Loved Figma when we switched from XD. Now our designers are using v0 and Lovable more, some Figma, but not near as much.aliastime
    • interesting thanks guys. Aliastime, are they still designing the look and feel in figma or another software and letting v0 or Lovable prototype/create the sites_niko
    • or are they letting ai also do the design?_niko
    • Figma is free, you can always work in the Drafts folder and don't bother with paying, BUT if you work in teams, it's gonna cost a lot more than Adobe CC

    • I made the switch last year, no regrets. If there is something you want to do, that figma doesnt do, theres a plugin. Almost always.slappy
    • Compressify for smaller PDFs for decks ;)

    • Can I easily copy and paste from photoshop or illustrator?_niko
    • Yes, but forget about illustrator, we don't need that where we are going.slappy
    • My biggest thing was being able to bring xd designs directly exportable into after effects. That was huge and Figma was lacking big time. Overlord...lvl_13
    • ...has finally been able to do this. Albeit a little janky.lvl_13
    • I’m getting to love figma for what it is, but it’s far from an illustrator replacement for me at least ... they work togethermonospaced
    • Why don't you just look up Figma tutorials and help manuals & GPT questions instead of asking about functions here?NBQ00
