    Literally helping onboard a few coworkers to Sketch this week. I've been using it for 3+ years.

    The biggest downside is that there's no collaboration tools to work on the same files with others as you can with Figma (which I've not used yet). So, you have to figure out a workflow that allows someone to manage a master library, and others to design and customize the components within. For a big project, it can take a while to set things up - text styles, layer styles, color variables, etc.

    I love Sketch though. I can't imagine sitting down and doing web design work in Photoshop; Sketch is just so much easier to use quickly.

    Oh, and Figma... I really find the UI to be too minimal and hard to read. I think there's a dark mode plugin but the minimal nature of their inspector doesn't feel that user friendly to me. Needs more contrast across the board.

    • we are all so different. I could never use dark mode in any UIgrafician
    • also pretty sure most of us see contrast very differently, specially greys! as in I've observed people reviewing my designs and not distinguishing between 2-3..grafician
    • ...2-3 different greys! they could see 2 out of 4 or 1 out of 3 most of the timesgrafician
    • Lots of Figma videos if needed https://www.youtube.…grafician
    • graf - I might have stellar eyesight or something, because I can distinguish color differences really easily.mg33
    • And alignment of things on screen. Can be off by 1-5px and I'll be the only one at work that notices it.mg33
    • I think architecture school did that to me. Just burned an intense attention to detail into my brainhole. :Dmg33
    • yeah we're RGB while all the others see CMYKgrafician
    • also working in print a lot does that to you, I can color correct by eye...grafician
    • https://www.abstract… may be of interest to you, MG. Also, you can setup Sketch libraries that can be shared/used among designers.duckseason
    • Sketch Cloud is also making strides to be more Figma-ish.duckseason
