So, we're still on Sketch, and I love my Sketch, and I'm hesitant to jump off Sketch right as they got their huge cash infusion and are ramping up production. So, help me out, community — what makes Sketch _better_ than Figma?

@cozysd I think mainly it has to do with workflow and teams. using figma in a team setting is very similar to using google docs. There's never any guesswork into 'who has the latest version' of anything. Everyone can access what they need at all times. the prototyping is a tad limited, but getting better all the time, and with all the new plugins coming on board, it's getting better all the time. If you ever have to work with dev teams, it's a dream. Just send them the URL link, and they have access to all the working files they need. it's also pretty awesome for distributed teams for all the same reasons. As for the basic tools themselves, it's close enough to Sketch as to make no difference. Plus, you can import all your sketch files, and they work in figma just fine.. no real reason to worry about switching.

This is amazing - been on Figma since its conception and its "blowin-up!!". (Not to call another company out, but Webflow should definitely look to open their service up for the community to develop plugins & templates with or w/o moderation.) In my opinion these big open-first community-driven features are what make Figma and BubbleIS so darn amazing.

Hey Tom and Sho! I've been working on an internal plugin for theming and I was wondering if you're planning on supporting switching instances via related components soon? We name our components with slashes for our different themes so for instance `modal / dark` and `modal / light`. In the UI you expose the related components so it's easy to switch the context, but in the API this data isn't exposed. I'd love to see even related instance component IDS in the object if possible. Also, is there a plan to add requesting all styles in a library? When exploring an object through the console, most of that objects properties do not load, instead I receive an error regarding the VM. So I had to create a utility plugin just for showing a style or components ID or key when its selected. Sorry for the wall of text! These are my two largest pain points when creating plugins right now so I thought I'd ask. I'd love to know if there are plans for an official support forum/site? Either through github, discord (wink wink) or slack? It's hard debugging issues since the spectrum chat is fairly inactive. Thanks!

@daniel_destefanis Switching instances is definitely on our wish list for future API improvements. Keep your eyes peeled! For plugin questions, we have been using a slack group to communicate during the beta and we are looking into opening it up now that we are out of beta. Stay tuned!

Keenly wait someone to create a plugin that could export to sketch or even xd
