Here’s a data point: “Convert Figma Design to 100% Editable WordPress websites in Elementor ~~& Gutenberg~~”
Includes exporting both theme design and Elementor widgets.
I think it’s significant that a Gutenberg version isn’t yet available, but an Elementor version is. Like it or not, the Elementor framework is both more mature and more stable relative to Gutenberg, which continues to have sometimes major alterations in every point release of WordPress.
I suspect blocks+FSE development is still too up in the air to finalize a stable exporter. And since core Blocks still lack a few key concepts every real page builder has had since at least 2011, the Figma team is likely to have to provide at least a few of their own blocks to support those concepts.
Incidentally, I’m not necessarily holding my breath for this. It *could* be cool but we’ve all seen earlier generations of 3rd-party “theme builders,” some of which were genuinely cool, that couldn’t keep pace with developments.
Discussion: I think it’s a shame the Gutenberg version isn’t ready. A Figma designer can pick up Elementor or other page builders in half an hour. But there’s currently no path from a legitimate custom design in Figma to Gutenberg without hours or days of full-stack developer time. This tool could help change that. That, in turn, might help increase the Gutenberg adoption rate, which last I saw is still points below 50% of new sites.
