However, they still have the most robust pure design toolkit IMO. Their most recent 'big features' (prototyping and sketch for teams) were complete BUSTS. However, I'm not convinved they will delivery well on any of their promises. I know Sketch has a pretty solid roadmap for 2020. This is a huge issue when dealing with massive libraries across multiple team members. XD, for example, is missing the ability to group symbols. However both of them are missing a few key features that make them difficult to switch to. I like the one-stop-shop aspect of both Figma and XD. I can see us making a shift to Figma in the next 12-18 months we have the ability to start fresh on some new projects. Our entire product libraries are based in Sketch and InVision, so it would be very difficult and time consuming to switch. We're still using Sketch + InVision as our primary tools. Seeing all this “sketch is dead.” stuff in the sketch subreddit really makes me wonder what is going on around here to be honest. To me the precision that sketch offers and has been honing over the years is like a supercar on the order of adobe products and everything else feels very loose and not Performant for lots of small but noticeable reasons (many of which sketch had as of just a few years ago). Anyway not sure why you would use it over inv inspect if it meant forcing you to jump to a buggy etc. I had used zeplan before invision added inspect and I have found inv inspect to be equal to or greater then zeplin for style grabbing and asset downloading. We use sketch and invision but they integrate so tightly today there is rarely much daylight between our working files and the prototype/screens on invision.
in browser app” because you need a “single source of truth”. Good answer except that part where you are putting your designers through trying to do the best work of their lives in a “buggy unpredictable etc. Our marketing graphic designer does love XD though. And neither do most of the peers I keep in touch with in the industry.
#ZEPLIN VS FIGMA LICENSE#
I still maintain my CC license for Photoshop, Illustrator and After Effects. Were completely aware that a simple website design layout has no business being 2gb PSD. Knew people were trying to do the same in Photoshop. 10 years ago Adobe saw what people were doing with Fireworks before they killed it off. But as someone who’s been using Adobe and Macromedia products since 1995 it’s too little to late. Performance is arguably worse than the browser version.Īlso, it’s cool watching XD grow. It’s a shitty Electron App and does not feel native at all. And before you recommend the ‘desktop app’ to me, save it. Figmas in browser experience is buggy, unpredictable and wholly dependent on Chrome/Safari tab resource management. Though my org is no longer Sketch, I still use it as my design tool of choice and pay for a few licenses each and every year. So in a way the same market forces that made Sketch a massive hit (the push away from Photoshop and Adobe bloat), are now killing it. And in another 5 years they’ll be crying for less bloated tools that only do 1 or 2 things really well. Everyone wants the one stop shop right now. Selfishly, I needed one source of truth to keep up with my designers. Using Abstract + Sketch + Invision + Zeplin (a lot more convenient than Invisions inspect) just wasn’t going to fly anymore once we started growing. But not for the reasons everyone may think.
