I wish Sketch was available for Windows or Linux. I don't think I'll buy a Mac ever again. More and more people are moving away from Apple altogether as the ecosystem has become an inescapable walled garden. I think ARM will become that last nail in the "walled garden" coffin.

Apple's market share for the Mac has been steady for a number of years now. You shouldn't confuse a few vocal people whinging on HN/Reddit with what's happening in the real world.
- aficiomaquinas 6y agoI'm not saying the market share is decreasing, I'm saying that many people are moving away from Apple. This is purely anecdotal, but I don't remember any people I know moving away from Apple 10 years ago. I think the story is very different today in the pro user space.
- tonyedgecombe 6y agoThis is purely anecdotal I think this is the point. I understand you might not like the walled garden or find they don't have the products for you. But it is a continuing meme on this site that masses are abandoning the platform when the figures don't back that up.
- j-kent 6y agoYou might want to checkout Lunacy from Icons8, it is a free windows clone of Sketch that aims for 100% compatibility. https://icons8.com/lunacy https://icons8.com/lunacy
