I thought this statement from the article had more than a hint of truth to it: "Figma in Electron may destroy your battery, but that destruction will take twice as long, if not more, with an A-series chip inside!"

This will allow Sketch to kick Figma's ass as soon as they solve their online multi-user editing

As someone who works on multi-user editing - Sketch will not be 'solving' it without a damn near complete re-write and neither will any other piece of software that didn't build a foundation that supports multi-user editing from the start.

For a user, it may seem like 'why can't they just add sync', for a programmer, it's a little more complicated :)
