I have the displeasure of using Figma at my job. I have a very low opinion of anything that locks up my browser for multiple seconds (Chrome or Safari) whenever I open it in a tab.

Then it takes a few seconds to load the file, which I don’t care much about.

But locking my entire browser is inexcusable.

It’s nice they’re working on performance once you get going, but launch performance is abysmal for me (x86-64 Mac).

Requiring figma at a job should be a human rights violation :). I'm off the grid and whenever I use figma it drains my batteries with a high CPU load. I have to be careful to open it during the dead winter, if I leave it open I could drain my entire 5kw setup. If I throttle my CPU, it's totally unusable. Hopefully I can get a more efficent setup (currently an old 2400GE minipc). Usually I take a screen snapshot because this has happened.

You should get a mac laptop, you can run figma all day without even needing to plug in the laptop to charge.
