Overall Satisfaction with Sketch

I use Sketch to create assets for my web development projects. It is my preferred tool even though I have Adobe Illustrator available. The web-focused design of Sketch has everything I need to get the job done without the complexity. I especially like the export options which allow me to generate multiple exports all at once.
  • Excellent user interface without the bloat of Illustrator.
  • Multiple exports generated in one click.
  • Excellent toolset for web design.
  • Switched to the dreaded subscription model!
  • No glaring omissions to the product.
  • Nicely priced one time software purchase.
  • Changing Sketch to a subscription model may very well mean we decide just to pay for Illustrator instead.
  • Ease of use.
  • Quick loading and not a resource hog.
  • Great ROI.
  • Inexpensive software purchase that's allowed us to create web assets cleanly and easily.
  • A good tool to have in the arsenal.
Sketch is great for creating digital assets quickly and easily. It is simple to figure out and easy to use. It has a very clean user interface and isn't a resource hog like Adobe products tend to be. Its export feature is fantastic, generating multiple asset sizes/resolutions in one shot. For anything other than print design, Sketch is my go-to.

Sketch is great for creating web graphics, it's intuitive and helpful while editing vectors for that application. I'd recommend it to anyone creating web assets. It's lightweight and doesn't seem to slow down your computer like Adobe's tools sometimes do. That being said, It's not a tool designed for print. It's missing bleeds, crop marks, etc. that are required for that type of work. However, it's a great tool for what it does.
