I wish my company would go back to Figma. Revisions are a nightmare; our project is young and designers change designs without ever notifying software engineers
Designers love it for some reason but as an engineer it's a pain in the ass

Because they need to load the entire editor into the page. Compare that to Sketch, or Photoshop, or any other tool.

Was considering Figma for a new project. But now that it doesn't have any version history, don't think will try it
* Slow is an understatement. And huge. Like 100Mb to start working on a medium size design (~20 frames?)
* It's impossible to figure out what part of the design to code to. Like you said, the best way we figured out how to work is to take screenshots and export them.
* It's impossible to follow comments. We just take conversations to slack.
* There's no easy way to track design revisions. What's changed? Who knows?
I miss working with designers who use sketch. Even better, those who just send me a full versioned spec that I can review offline. Design changed? Just send me an updated spec? Figma design changed? I have no idea where to even start looking.
