Any Sketch-to-Designer converts here that could recommend the switch? I've been using an old standalone license of Sketch and refuse to upgrade to their subscri

  I don't use Sketch a lot, but I like being able to set up a one-button export that spits out multiple versions. You may very well be able to do this in Designer, but I don't use their "persona" concept. Sketch suffers from some profound selection problems. It inexplicably treats all objects as filled... but only when you drag within them (but not when you click). So if you want to select a bunch of smaller objects that reside within the boundaries of a bigger one, NOPE: You'll end up moving the enclosing object when you try to drag a selection marquee around the enclosed objects. That's a deal-breaker for me. I mean... WTF. Another selection-oriented quibble in Sketch is that you can't set the default selection mode to "select only objects that are fully enclosed by the selection marquee." This is only available if you press and hold a hotkey while selecting. But that's miles ahead of Illustrator, which totally lacks this critical selection mode... a product-killer in my book. Designer offers this mode up-front as a full-time default, as does Corel Draw (which defaults to it). Inkscape has it also. I don't know how people tolerate its absence.
