Jim Nielsen, Don’t Miss the Product for the Artifacts:
Figma is just the tool that facilitates creating the thing we actually want to make. Yet we can spend so much time thinking “being good at Figma” is our purpose, when in fact it’s to use Figma to build something great for people!
There are Figma wizards who create legitimate works of art with the software. I lack the skill but I still use Figma nearly every day because it’s that much better than anything Adobe. I just don’t understand why people make complex interactions and fancy animations in it. It ends up as useful as a pretty PowerPoint—why not spend the time building an interface that users can actually… use?
