FIGMA JUST PROVED EVERYONE (INCLUDING ME) WRONG

Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

Figma's 2025 Schema Conference introduced nine major updates, including extended collections for multi-brand systems, slots for component customization, and AI-powered design checking, addressing long-standing design system needs. The announcements mark a significant shift from previous concerns about Figma neglecting its design system features, with improvements spanning performance, code integration through MCP servers and GitHub connections, and native variable import/export. Variable composability still requires further development for advanced authoring patterns.
