There are areas of Figma that could be improved or enhanced. Annotation was one of the issues I had, but with the recent update, it has been fixed. I had been using my own component library for this, but now Figma has implemented this feature, which is fantastic. One of the significant challenges earlier was when the interface was updated, and the positioning and sizing properties were shifted on the right panel. This change initially slowed down my efficiency as I was accustomed to accessing sizes in a particular area. Though it impacted my team's workflow initially, we have now adapted to the new layout.

One negative aspect about our main use case or how we used Figma in that project is that the notifications were a little bit difficult to follow. For example, if a designer marks up some part of Figma, we don't necessarily know about it on the product side, and it's hard to keep track of all of that, especially when we use Slack for our regular workflow. Figma can be improved by enhancing the notifications to let people know that there's a new message in Figma, just to make sure that people see the notification that it's meant to go to the person who's meant to receive it.
The product could be improved by addressing performance issues such as slowness, particularly with heavy or high-resolution images. It can lead to lag and slow file loading times.
One of the areas for improvement is the onboarding experience. When you first starting using Figma, it can be a little confusing. It would be useful to have some guidance and direction.

Sometimes the prototype view menu gets in the way of navigation, especially if the prototype has a menu at the top, and most of the time it does.
