As a side note, there is a FOSS alternative to figma called penpot! Is not as polished or feature-rich, but I though some of you might be interested ๐Ÿ’– https://github.com/penpot/penpot

I really hope that PenPot can catch up with Figma, it's a decent alternative. But until at the very least they can offer better tools for components like variants and custom properties, there is just no way for anyone working professionally with Figma to switch.
