I never really got the almost code, but still not code appeal of figma. Like the author, I get the design into real code asap. I'll even use a sketch CSS library just so the client can interact and give real feedback. Clicking through an interactive but fake UX is just not real enough for me. Too much bike shedding.

As far as web application design, there are only so many useful idioms. Iterating over actual working interfaces I find the most rapid and satisfying way to design. I built my last app this way. Albeit I'm in ultimate control of the design and build. Experience may differ if these are separate responsibilities.
