Over the years I have been developing a pretty severe distaste for Figma, without getting into it too much, it does a lot of little things that just make it feel hostile to the platform, if the platform being designed for is the web.
https://penpot.app/ looks like it might address a lot of that. Curious if others have tried it and seen any of the advertised benefits play out.
