UI redesign (UI3) makes common tasks slower and harder

7/10 High

Figma's UI3 interface redesign has made previously simple workflows more cumbersome. Functions that took a couple of clicks now require multiple steps, and frequently-used features are now hidden or repositioned, disrupting muscle memory and slowing down daily work for power users.

Query: “What are the most common pain points with Figma for developers in 2025?”4/9/2026

What used to be done in a couple of clicks now takes a series of them as the functions that are most important are hidden now... trying to redesign made no improvements and rather worsened the overall experience.
