This makes it easier to use components in designs for different screen sizes. And then you don’t have to calculate every time what 40% or 60% of the width is.

This also makes it easier to design scalable applications that grow with the width of the screen.

Percentages would be awesome and consistent to use in css-vars.

Does Figma not take a stand on this? There must be a reason for it.

Logged in just to say yep I really need this. I hate having to apply a column grid to auto layouts just to get the width correct, and then having to add extra notes to the devs that it should be percentage based instead of fixed width. It also sucks when there’s a responsive option in the present mode but this doesn’t work with that.
