Haven't made the jump; however, I have dabbled and this is something I often speak with interview candidates about.
• Being web-based is pretty big, in my opinion, and one of Figma's larger benefits as it frees folks from having to be on a Mac.
• Live collaboration is a handy feature. (Sketch is working on this)
• Folks have told me Figma's type and vector tools are superior to Sketch.
• You can import Sketch to Figma but not the other way around.
• If you're reliant on InVision Figma wont play well, granted it has most of InVision's features built in.
• A lot of folks have grown used to/reliant on specific plugins available only on Sketch.
I'm assuming this question was based around switching from Sketch. I think there are pros/cons to both and the the competition is helping push both into a better place at a pretty rapid rate.
Just some food for thought as I'm sure others can provide more first-hand experience based feedback. I'm also a little buzzed and newborn sleep deprived, so I'm sure I'm forgetting a bunch. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
