Coming from an engineer's perspective, Dev Mode is what made Figma actually useful for me. I used to dread design handoff because Sketch exports were inconsistent and I'd end up eyeballing values from screenshots. Now I can inspect specs, copy CSS or SwiftUI snippets, and see component variants without bothering the designer. Variables that map cleanly to design tokens give us a path to actual handoff automation, which we're piloting. The Dev Mode MCP server is interesting but immature; I'm watching that space. My one gripe is performance when navigating large files - the spinning wheel still appears. Plugins are great but the security model deserves more scrutiny than I see in most orgs.
