Does this mean complete abandonment of CoffeeScript? It took me a long time to learn CoffeeScript as a nontechnical person. Coding hurts my brain. I'm not against life-long learning, but a switch to ES6 would be a giant kick in the nuts.
Exactly this.
I asked an enterprise relationship manager person from InVision a while back if they had tried to buy Sketch and he couldn’t keep a straight face. The only company with enough venture backing to attack the breadth of Adobe’s products is InVision. They have a solid platform and a large number of users. The only thing they’re missing is a primary design tool, which they know they need. That’s where Figma comes in. InVision already has a lot of collaboration tools, which Sketch lacks, so it would naturally extend InVision’s lineup.
Also, Sketch coming out with Libraries in the next release is a shot at Craft, which InVision has put a lot of effort in. Moves like that will motivate InVision to be less friendly to Sketch in the future.
I can see your point about smaller teams. I work on a team of about 50 designers and we're in the middle of a compete overhaul of our design system. Having a single source of truth for everything would be hugely beneficial.
Screen design tools, no; but prototyping tools, yes. I serve as my design team's internal support desk for all things related to Sketch and have been using it since 2012. Prototyping tools have been a source of frustration though. I was using Pixate for awhile till it was killed. I spend most of my time in InVision now, but I'm also trying to start integrating Framer more. Framer has taken the longest since Javascript/Coffescript has been admittedly difficult to learn.
Good points. I'll admit to some hyperbole.
And interesting comparisons to the programming side. I think it's fair to say that many developers are wrestling with the same issues. https://hackernoon.com/how-it-feels-to-learn-javascript-in-2016-d3a717dd577f
The Myers-Briggs test is junk science and should be treated as such. Neither Myers or Briggs had any psychology training.
"Research shows “that as many as three-quarters of test takers achieve a different personality type when tested again,” writes Annie Murphy Paul in The Cult of Personality Testing, “and the sixteen distinctive types described by the Myers-Briggs have no scientific basis whatsoever.” In a recent article, Roman Krznaric adds that “if you retake the test after only a five-week gap, there's around a 50% chance that you will fall into a different personality category.”"

Since you apparently need your hand held to get behind simple paywalls for two out of the six articles I linked to, I'll do you a favor.
The unrestricted articles are the top result on both links.
If by talking points you mean widely accepted economic analysis then sure.

Yep, I dumped Framer entirely because of their decision to stop supporting classic. Was really disappointed they went that route.
