Evan Wallace basically said screw it, I'm writing a custom WebGL renderer and multiplayer protocol, when everyone else was slapping together existing libraries. Most of us would have built a janky Electron app and called it a day. Instead they went nuclear on performance because that WAS their product differentiation.

Hasn't he all but washed his hands of Figma? I have a hard time being interested in something that has such a painful freemium tier, tries to merge with Adobe, and trademarked "Dev Mode".

Great. What's the point of achieving great things with hard work if one is still stuck working with same product for life.

Thats okay. One can always use products that are reasonable to their expense budget. Not every product is to be used by every one.

It's incredibly snappy. It works fine on subpar hardware like a late 2013 11" MacBook Air. Truly amazing.
