No, here’s the problem: Figma doesn’t go far enough.
If you need a free form design tool to sketch, use one. There are hundreds of them.
I need to implement my design system inside of a design tool so I can prototype designs with multiple breakpoints, container queries, modes, and variants. Figma isn’t up to the job. Ever tried opening the variables tab on the Material 3 Figma file? Stutter, stutter, stutter, “this tab is unresponsive”. You can barely view a long variable list, forget editing one with multiple modes. And, I hope your variable names aren’t too long, because you’re not going to be able to see them in most parts of the UI.
The problem with Figma isn’t that it’s too engineer-y for designers, the problem is that it’s too designer-y for engineers. I spent a month implementing my design system in Figma before giving up and just doing it in code. With Figma you run into all of the downsides of building the design system in code (deeply nested items breaking when you move/change something) but you get none of the advantages.
Figma is a mound of half-baked (vaguely web-like) ideas, poorly implemented. So many times I’ve had things just stop working with no way to figure out why. 99% of the time it’s just a bug and you have to reload the app.
If there’s something better than Figma out there, please, let me know. For now I’m sketching in Figma and building my design system with extensions to Style Dictionary.
I have totally opposite experience working on large ds at uber

yeh I type in Paris, now I get a paragraph to read with random suggestions with no context to verify if these are good for me or not. If User has to figure out and make choices and tell AI to plan the trip then what is the point. It is easy for me to see nice UI with reviews, image grid and make choice based on this type of data. Why is the purpose of back and forth discussion with AI ?
Love the idea

Is there an end to this?
The US actually ends Iran's nuclear program, they quit trying and obey ... because we bombed them?
Most of the recent middle east history doesn't seem to ever end as much as just go through a continuous cycle of violence creating more of what the folks condoning violence claim they're preventing.
Iraq completely shut down post war so yeh its possible

Disabling ai at this point is like using your app in off line mode. Not a lots of people want to build for that

This article is the example of why google ai is not winning market share. All you have shown is bunch of graphs and numbers, two image and video examples are horrible. This would not want me even touch google ai. Meanwhile world is going crazy over ghibli images with openai. Users are not stupid!
It gets the things they want to do done. No paying someone else, no asking for help on $chatprotocolchannel, no getting a friend to help. It's just there. It doesn't matter if it's ugly. It doesn't need to be monetized, doesn't need to be worked on by a team of people. It just needs to work... enough.
Vibe coding may not be for you. But vibe coding is so that we don't need to bother you for trivial things (like porting a 12 .c file X11/cairo program to a single .pl file cariro/gtk program).
