I replaced Figma with Claude Design, Replit, and Google Stitch for a week — and only one kept up with the workflow
Design tooling has split into two camps over the last year or so. On one side are the manual editors I've always lived in - Figma, Affinity, Krita, Photopea, Penpot, etc. On the other are the prompt-first generators, which two years ago I would have written off as a gimmick, but they've proven me wrong. There's serious money behind them now, the tools genuinely seem to understand UI conventions, and the more time I spend with them the less obvious it is where the line between design tool and AI generator actually is.
