Forcing UI3 on us is a HUGE mistake! Let us choose! - April 30

Why Figma Company not listen to the voices of real users instead of forcibly cancelling UI2?

When a product becomes very popular, it doesn't merely belong to the company.

As in the title.

I also can’t believe Figma are forcing us to use UI3. It’s utter garbage. It’s not about getting used to a new layout, it’s about a UI that lacks accessibility, is inefficient, badly designed and totally inferior to UI2. Figma, why are you not listing to your users? What’s going on with your product team? I’d be ashamed if I’d designed something that has such bad UX. You can see all the poor user feedback, but just decided to ignore everyone. Just because you’ve wasted time on bad product design, doesn’t mean it’s a good idea to implement it. You are seriously having a laugh with UI3.

I also struggle with UI3, After Figma’s implementing UI3, the desktop app became slow. it delays when I drag frames, even on small files I feel performance issue. 

That’s why I thinking to switch to Motiff or Creatie or Penpot


Nowadays companies is not design driven or test driven, but they are ego driven. 

 

I'm trying to get used to UI3, but why does UI3 even changed angle of the mouse pointer? Insane！

It's really disgusting to force users to switch to UI3. Figma is still too young.

I'm thinking about switching to another software. I've painstakingly written a Figma textbook, using illustrations with the UI2 interfaces.

The forced switch to UI3 means I have to replace hundreds of illustrations in my textbook that's about to be published.

I'm considering changing the drawing software used in the textbook.

Figma is really disgusting.

Why is it mandatory to update to UI3? To be frank, UI3 cannot be considered a qualified product at all, and it has not even undergone sufficient user testing. It ignores the voices of users, and the newly launched version is difficult for most community users to accept. According to the current situation, about 60% of users in the community do not support UI3.

If it were a whiteboard tool, I might accept this floating design - after all, there is a blank area above that can be freely used. But Figma, as a design software and productivity tool, has never seen any 3D modeling or design software put commonly used tools at the bottom. I have always hoped to see feedback from the community that would prompt the Figma team to make adjustments, but what ultimately came was a mandatory update.

This approach undoubtedly consumes the stickiness of loyal users like you. Once similar competitors emerge, the loss of users who do not support UI3 will be inevitable. From the perspective of a UI designer, I believe that making money and improving user experience are not contradictory. I can understand why the Figma team is making changes for the long-term development of the product, but I really don't understand why they are so ignoring user needs and forcefully pushing for a clearly unverified new UI.

From the perspective of UI designers, making money and user experience are not in conflict, because all of you here are UI designers from around the world who have encountered various challenges in their daily work, such as companies making money or user experience, software upgrades, and system updates. Old code is complex and needs to be rewritten. I can understand the "changes" of the Figma team in order to upgrade the industry, but I really don't understand why they do this. They force updates without listening to user feedback. That floating design is really garbage.

I can’t stand UI3. Especially when I switch to smaller screens, it becomes an absolute hindrance.
