I love Sketch, but I don't like Fireworks. I find Fireworks awkward and clunky.
yeah, the UI is not sexy. But the feature set that is being boasted in the article is THE SAME from firewoks around 1999.

It would have been great to point out at the beginning of the article that this sketch software is for Mac only. Serious web development is not only done in Mac, did you know?
