Earlier quoted context omitted.

Brand new? And no, I don't think so. Sketch is awesome but it isn't a substitute for work that you would do in Photoshop. Unless you were doing wireframes in Photoshop.

I'm a designer at Twitter and our design team has been using Sketch for UI design for the last few years. I believe the same situation occurs at FB and many other design teams unless doing very particular photo work or iconography/illustration.

I don't disagree with that. I also work at Twitter and use Sketch.

I'm just saying that Sketch is not a substitute for Photoshop. It never was, nor should be. You completely misunderstood me.

Change the name fellas. Sketch is a brand new tool that's about to replace Photoshop for almost all web design work.

Not to mention the numerous results from Google SketchUp and Autodesk SketchBook that popup when you're searching for "sketch "

And of course, I am left out of the fun. Why did I have to buy a Windows Phone...

With a little luck, maybe Microsoft is already working on React Native support for Window's phone.

Works well enough that I was able to get up and running with a Windows Universal app on hololens.
