Figma falls into the trap of all other claimed high performing web apps, conflating maintaining a 60fps refresh rate with responsiveness. Try dragging any object around (even simple shapes) and you'll see it trail the mouse cursor in Figma. Does not happen in OmniGraffle. The result is a distinct difference in feel.

Can any person in the planet edit the same document than you in real time, for free, running hardware up to 5 to 10 years old, in < 3 min after receiving a link with Omnigraff ?

Because that is the main feature of figma. Latency of mouse issues is a good trade off from my POV.

Fair point! I might file this under 'latency' which is often ignored for improvement so long as it's tolerable.
