I personally believe that the success of Figma is because of many factors:

  • Free App
  • In-browser web app
  • Powerful plugin and ecosystem

The webapp thing is huge because it makes it platform agnostic

Exactly

XD is not available on Chromebook or Linux

The app version seems to be a webapp as well.

idk. we did do the web version to do a project about a couple of months back. Maybe July.

And it was pretty glitchy. When we got to our prototypes, it wasn't working/linking/etc so we had to migrate it out of there to marvel

That's a website inside a browser

it could be because of resources being taken up by other tabs
