Sketch really lost because they did not want to go cross-platform..

I really really love Sketch, and for all the reasons that make it different to Figma.

I just hope they don’t go too deep into Figma’esque cloud features (at least without being able to opt out) because Sketch is a really superb standalone piece of Mac software and I appreciate it for that.

It sounds to me that if your team is relying that much on inspecting values, you're doing the developers (or designers) a disservice one way or another. A well defined set of design tokens is all that's needed, and isn't rocket science either. Not to mention that encouraging developers to copy-paste CSS should be frown upon anyway.

Agreed! By the way, guess what else is paywalled by Figma https://tokens.studio/ edit: there is a free tier but core functionality like "create a variable" or "reference a variable" is Pro-only :P

That strongly reminds me on telerik themebuilder: https://themebuilderapp.telerik.com/ They allow you to inspect the designs like a dev mode but once you start customising it they charge you for "define a variable". I really hope this is no behavior to enforce devs to pay for IDE functionalities in the future.
