But CSS would still get you better prototypes that imitate native designs than anything Figma can provide. All the top requested features for Figma are CSS-like features even coming from designers who don't know CSS. CSS has solved many of the most difficult layout and design problems, why reinvent the wheel?

I work on native app designs and other non-product design work in Figma and having the features CSS would provide out of the box would save me literally dozens of hours a month.

Yeah, auto-layout (flex) was weird at first but more and more designers get used to it, it becomes a preferable foundation for layout. I think they will love CSS eventually, it's just the teaching/learning process that can get them there. At least currently Figma hype gets them `display: flex`.
