Despite the rise of AI-powered coding and prototyping tools, Figma remains the preferred platform for UI/UX design, with an 87% adoption rate.
Figma's real-time collaboration, component libraries, and plugin ecosystem are favored over AI-specific design tools according to a recent survey of 300 software company executives.
Figma recently introduced AI-powered features like prompt-to-code tool and Figma Sites, enabling direct publishing from prototypes to live websites.
The company filed for an IPO after canceling a $20 billion acquisition by Adobe, with an annual recurring revenue of $700 million and total funding of $748.6 million. Despite the rise of 'vibe coding' tools like Replit, user experience designers emphasize Figma's importance in creating seamless user experiences and shared design visions.
