// EDITOR'S TAKE
Penpot is the only project here that replaces XD outright, with vector design, components and clickable prototypes in the browser and self-hosting if you need it. Quant-UX is narrower but better when a prototype exists to be tested on real users, and Plasmic is a different bet entirely, turning visual editing into production React rather than design files.
