Overall Satisfaction with Adobe XD

I am using Adobe XD within the Communications department of our school and I believe I am the only one using it here. There are several schools and departments across our university and I am sure there are a lot of other developers using as well. I manage all things web at our school and the biggest benefit I have seen is the time savings. I currently use Adobe CC and having XD be a part of that means they all interact together and the interfaces are similar, also there is no switching between different software.
  • Amount of plugins available.
  • Interactive prototypes.
  • Even more plugins.
  • I need to be able to prototype on all devices not just MacOS.
  • ROI, big time saver and it is part of Adobe CC so I did not have to purchase other software to do the job.
  • Being able to share with others who are using different software, ie. Sketch.
I have tried Sketch to see how it compares to Adobe XD but that didn't last long and i will stick to XD.
Sometimes it is hard to find answers on Adobe.com for seemingly simple questions.

For mocking up current pages with new features, it is great. I can create components and add or subtract whatever I like in order to see what a page will look like, in several variations, in a small amount of time. Prototyping without having to write any code is great as I can just switch over to prototype and you can see how different elements react.
It is less appropriate for exporting my CSS from my designs.
