    Sadly, I am atill looking for serious alternatives to the trio Sketch/Flinto/Principle which are really important for ux/UI

      Unfortunately there isn't a sustainable alternative to Adobe software for designers that is on same level as Sketch. I joked that if you want to boycott Adobe, you can use GIMP and that software is as bad as wearing gimp.

      In good news, when Sketch showed up, Adobe was threatened by a serious competitor and bunch of cool features like... artboards.

        give Inkscape a try. It's not pretty, and doesn't have artboards but it's really capable for UI design

          Well, the question is that why not use Photoshop if it's the best available software for Windows?

            I wouldn't recommend doing UI design in a raster graphics application, even though there are lots of templates and resources for UI design for Photoshop and surprisingly much less for Illustrator.

              I agree with that, but I didn't really run into issues with raster web design because I replace most graphic materials with CSS which is scale-able during web development. I considered it as a solution.

      Affinity Designer is a pretty competent Sketch alternative for Windows.

        Indeed, Affinity Designer is excellent! They've just launched the full release, I recommend jumping on board!
