I could nitpick the authors points, but honestly this article just boils down to "Design tools need more features!" which I generally agree with. We're living in nice times for design tools though - Figma/Sketch are leading the pack and moving extremely fast.
We're no longer in the dark ages of waiting 5+ years for Adobe to implement some basic feature (like being able to round corners on a rectangle). Well, I guess if you're for some reason using xD you're still waiting a comically long amount of time between significant releases, but that's your own fault.
Well a lot of people don't know how to use Figma properly and still are exporting css with absolute positioned items so there's certainly a need for courses on Figma its a very deep tool but its not going to give usable results by default.

Got any good links to share that would help designers level up w/ Figma and leverage it properly?
More importantly, they have a separate use case that needs a set of features that aren't well covered by the current set of tools.
Maybe it isn't even more features, but rather a completely different tool. This could be a market opportunity.
