I didn’t realize that Sketch’s operation was so much more lean. That difference is staggering.

I agree that Sketch should focus on its strengths rather than chase after Figma. There’s at least a few things Sketch is better at… for example Figma is pretty pointedly squarely focused on prototyping, which makes it awkward for asset creation and sometimes even high-fidelity mockups (particularly for styles that aren’t some variant of flat and require a lot of layers). Sketch on the other hand handles those use cases quite well.

And I realize it’s comparatively niche and not where the money is at, but I find that Figma doesn’t bring much to the table over Sketch for purely solo projects. Its value is almost entirely tied up in its collaborative abilities.
