After 8 months I switched from Figma to Sketch for wireframing and it just flows better for me

I know everyone loves Figma these days (and I get it, the collaboration stuff is nice) but I was spending way too much time fighting with auto layout for simple flows. Last week I had to map out a 40-screen onboarding sequence for a client in Portland and Sketch just handled it cleaner. No weird frame nesting, no random alignment jumps when I moved things around. Has anyone else felt like Figma overcomplicates what should be basic layout work?

Not really sure why it needs to be some big dramatic switch. They are both just tools for making boxes and arrows, right? 8 months is a long time to spend on something that isn't working for you, but maybe the problem wasn't the software. You ever think you just had a bad workflow or didn't learn Figma's quirks well enough? Sketch is fine, but it's not exactly new or groundbreaking at this point. Seems like a lot of energy to put into deciding which pixel pusher you like better.

Tbh Sketch is way older than Figma, not the other way around.
