Tried Figma as Sketch replacement since i lost my MacBook.
Pros:
- Easy to Use
- Cloud based Storage
- Have all basic vector need
- Zeplin integration which is plus for me
Cons:
Sometimes the app is freeze after doing some medium to hard task.
Nothing wrong with my Laptop but the issue come from UWP i think

They also have a integration with Zeplin and you can export all your layers into Zeplin.
Works very well. You can export every layer or group/object as JPG/PNG/SVG.
You can copy every text layer by just selecting it and Ctrl+C (copy as text), you can see the fonts and colors for text layers as well.
You can also share your projects with your team by email invite and public link.
Pros:
Everything looks exacly like in Sketch
Cons:
Uses a lot of RAM memory and sometimes breaks and needs a refresh

My goto wireframing tool. There are things in Sketch (organising and nesting/overriding components) and Adobe XD CC (the grid) i would like to see in Figma but the overall power and focus far outweighs a few shortcomings.
You can work offline with Figma, just open your project when connected, then you can disconnect and can still work with all the tools except to view your prototype. And also don't forget to connect to WiFi when you are done or else you will loose all your work.
Myself and my team love Figma. The real-time collaboration and being able to comment anywhere on the design to ask for feedback, or content edits is absolutely amazing! and that's just scratching the surface. Thanks for an amazing product that we use everyday! @rsms@sodewumi@jlfwong@ryanjkaplan@johanprag@kathrynaaker@zoink@evanwallace

But I think they are still implementing some features. Above all, it's really a great alternative :)
Pros:Nice, comes with almost all XD tools, easy to learn interface
Cons:would be better if I can collapse the left tab. and also have a grid system like XD.
