Is it worth it to be the first?
Thinking about the recent feature release for stacks by Sketch, I can’t help but wonder how differently Sketch and Figma got to the same place. Figma was the first one to the market with autolayout, and they got there in trailblazing mode. Did Sketch wait on purpose to develop stacks, so they could skip the R&D? If so, why?
A feature such as stacks was a solved problem for Sketch because Figma set the expectations with autolayout.
What did Figma gain to make the R&D worth it to be the first, and what did Sketch lose for it?
