But… they already did? In 2016 no less [1]. That $100 buys you exactly 1 year of updates. After that you have to renew at $69 per year.

Figma is rather performant (to the point where it outruns Sketch in typical day-to-day design tasks), and their vector-editing is less buggy.

Collaboration and version control. With Sketch you either roll other software on top (Abstract or Plant) or painstakingly adhere to manual check-out process. With Figma your design team always has the latest version of the component libraries and can collaborate effortlessly.

No, that's not the icing on the cake. That's the primary reason for why design teams are switching to Figma. This changes so much, you wouldn't believe: primarily because it means effectively side-stepping version control pains. With Sketch you either have to use external software (Abstract, Plant etc.) or resort to manual “check-outs” while working in design team. With Figma this problem simply doesn't exist.

It's mostly about UX/UI rather than anything else. Feedly is becoming worse and worse and other readers (except maybe Reeder which lacks Windows / Android support) are just plain ugly or bloated with junk social / discovery features.

Uhmmm, rrrright.

tl;dr: Author substitutes “readers” to “sessions” further down the line, which is, of course, not in the slightest as impressive as the title. The only valuable recommendations are sub-headlines, content structuring and overall content quality control (all of those are self-evident). Everything is else (such as word-count breakdowns) is just bullshit.

The same reason you do hello world before proceeding to more complex software engineering.
