It's great to see that I'm not the only one with this opinion. As an engineer who consumed design work from figma, I hate 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.
