    We just did this here microkorg. And, about 6 months after I just got the organization to upgrade us all from PS 5.1 through 6 all to CC.

    We're all on macs to begin with so that didn't play a part in our decision. What did was the need for 'redlines' as we call them. It was a constant pain in the ass to design in CC and go through all the approval processes, then go back and redline the files for the engineers and developers. I knew Adobe was working on their version of Sketch but I convinced the org to install Sketch on our machines.

    The icing on the cake was our ability to use Zeplin along with Sketch, which provides redlines and code automagically without design effort. Those two programs working together have been amazing.

    Zeplin can be downloaded and accessed via Windows but Sketch can not btw. So for you, it's ok that everyone else is on PC as they'll be able to access the files, code, and redlines via Zeplin.

    Sketch took us little time to absorb and in the 4 months that we've been using it has been updated/upgraded a few times. Its vastly improved over what I had been testing even 6 months ago. It's stable, fast, and made specifically for UI work. Photoshop seems like a dog now when I go back.
