> Quoting from the article, which of course you did not read

What makes you think that I didn’t read the article, but rather just disagree with it?

“which of course you did not read” is such a negative/toxic statement that adds no value.

obviously developers use the product to collaborate with designers. but it’s not the developers that are buying this product. they’re just stakeholders.

The developer seats are read-only, so they rely on designer seats existing to actually create files to inspect for development (and I’d guess PMs are using figma because designers are using figma).

If designers still want Figma then the other people are along for the ride (unless the idea is the designers are being replaced with a PM+Claude.)

Personally, as a developer, I interact with figma to use designs made by designers. So a portion of that userbase probably isn't going anywhere?

A very large portion of the non-design users are using it to reference/implement the designs created by their designer colleagues. They’re not going anywhere.
