It would be really great if there was an option in an auto layout frame where the frame would wrap the objects to the next line. Like this. Objects would respect the padding set in the Auto layout.

Much better and more UI-led than it used to be. Still has a few bugs and minor niggles but they are definitely pushing in the right direction… out-pacing figma by far on new decent features

+1 here. It would definitely help to make components more sharable across different viewports without having to break layout. Please get it done, Figma folks!

It’s because Framer is built on HTML/CSS rendering and not a custom renderer the way Figma is. The benefit to Figma is better rendering performance for very large pages and some complex object stuff the web can’t do easily, however it also means they have to recreate all the ways CSS behaves from scratch. Framer on the other hand just has to built a UI and logic around applying existing basic CSS stuff like flex-wrap or grid.

There are benefits and downsides to both, but Framer and Plasmic and Webflow and other CSS based design tools will always have a lot of these features more easily than Figma will.
