The article should have also covered Figma, as I expect it to chew a large chunk of Sketch's market share. In my company almost every designer switched over from Sketch to Figma because of the collaboration and reviewing abilities. Designers invite developers (including remotes) to a read-only view on which they can place comments. This works really good. Maybe Sketch Cloud offers the same? It didn't catch on at our place.

We switched from Sketch to Figma in our team and love it. The possibility to work several people simultaneously is amazing. A killer function. Today we were 4 people working within the same artboard at the same time on a complex search/filter page. Reusing and building on each others ideas in real time increases the overall speed of designing tremendously.

Figma would be impressive as a desktop app, but it’s even more impressive delivered through a browser. Just amazing engineering. I am continually amazed with how performant, reliable, and fast that browser-based graphics editor is. I forget I’m in the browser when I use it. Makes me excited for web assembly and the coming apps.

Not directly in Sketch, but our team uses Zeplin[0], which integrates with Sketch, for that use case. Our designers still prefer Sketch, and Zeplin has become an integral part of our workflow. [0] - https://zeplin.io https://zeplin.io

  I love the dimensions and color data you see when you hover over the main CTA on their homepage. Brilliant design

Yea, Figma is incredible. I love seeing all the designers' cursors moving around, and being able to ask questions directly on the art board. There have been many cases where I've been trying to line up some buttons only to have the designer come in and move them around as I'm writing code. I also love the "infinite canvas" design, it feels great to have everything on one screen and just zoom in/zoom out to see details.
