Figma Make is finally available to all paid plans! I got access today and decided to test it live - here are my completely honest first impressions as a UX designer.
What I tested:

* Design reasoning and suggestions
* Creating interactive components
* Real limitations vs marketing claims
My takeaway: Figma Make shows promise for overcoming creative blocks and rapid prototyping, but still has areas to improve compared to manual Figma work.
